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.

Thorough, communicates well.
Saw Dr. Frink regarding elevated PSA results. He was well informed and listened to all of my concerns. He gave me all of my options and recommended a course of action which appeared to make sense for my condition. His thoughts seemed to reflect the latest research. I am pretty confident in his advice for going forward.

A good number of years ago, my P.A. thought my prostate was becoming enlarged and made an appt. with Dr. Frink for me. Best thing that ever happened. He agreed that it was becoming enlarged and, initially we should keep an eye on it. Then, one year, he said we now had to take it a step further. He had a great way of explaining it to me, and really took his time. He was right in that it was now prostate cancer. I went thru the 44 doses of radiation, and then had to see Dr. Frink again for the follow ups. All the follow ups have my PSA at practically 0. I have one last follow up with him in several months. What i learned. When he ascertained originally that i had cancer, my PSA was very low, like 2.8. I have told my 3 sons that the PSA is not a be all and end all to determine if one has cancer. Make a urologist appt. and stay on top of this with him. I can't recommend Dr. Frink strongly enough. His professionalism and proficiency are tops

Dr. Frink has been my urologist for over 16 years. Although I live in Utah, I always return to Ct. for my yearly check up. He is professional, friendly, and has a calming manner that puts patients at ease. I wish all MD's had these qualities. By catching my bladder cancer early it's probable that he saved my life.

I have been a patient of Dr Richard Frink for over a quarter of a century. I have found him to not only very competent and knowledgeable as a Urologist, but also to be a very understanding, compassionate physician with a great bedside manner and pleasing personality that makes a patient feel relaxed and confident of a good outcome. He is a physician who is ever current in his knowledge of the medical literature and I recommend him without any reservation whatsoever. John E. (Ted) MacNintch Ph.D.
