Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Frechette was my physician for many years. He conducted regular examinations for Coast Guard licensing purposes, provided excellent advice and immunizations for international adventure travel and shepherded me through a hip replacement. He was always knowledgeable, professional responsive. A fine Physician!

Dr. Frechette is an outstanding doctor. He is exceedingly bright and kind, and listens well. He has been a wonderful caregiver to both my husband and me. We couldn't recommend him more! The whole office is wonderfully run.

In my last check up with Dr. Freschette he told me I shouldn’t have to come in for another physical for 5 years due to my age and health. I moved out of state and when I tried to get a referral for a new Dr. he insisted on me coming back to see him before he can give me a referral.

Dr. Frechette has taken care of my wife, my daughter, and me for many years. I have never been more pleased with a doctor. He really listens, which helps make him a superb diagnostician. He does not make unnecessary referrals and does not order unnecessary tests, but does not hesitate to refer and order appropriate tests when necessary. He consistently follows up until a problem is resolved. He communicates very clearly and makes sure I really understand. He is careful and thorough.
