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.

16 months after hernia surgery I still don't feel right and according to Dr Friese it's not related to the surgery but it is because I feel worse than prior to surgery and feel dismissed by Dr Friese like he is trying to distance himself from the situation like I'm blaming him for what's wrong. I'm not. But I am blaming him for the way he has handled the situation and how he reacted to the fact something could be wrong with one of his surgeries is the last possible situation that could come up. Something is wrong and Dr Friese has denied it. It's my body something is wrong. Stay away or you may never feel normal again after surgery with Dr Friese

I recently had a laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Metro Surgery Center performed by Dr William Friese. Not only was he amazing all the staff at Metro Surgery Center was as well. I highly recommend him as well as his team for any surgery. He is the best.

Dr. Friese is respectful, pleasant, easy to talk to and easy to understand. He took time for a conference in his office before examination. He explained lab results and his plan for handling. He offered treatment choices. His office staff was very helpful in taking extra time to contact providers for required paperwork so there would be no need to reschedule the appointment.
