Tracy M. Frech, M.D., M.S.

Dr. Frech very good about listening to my concerns. always explains things in a way I understand.

Concern that Dr. Frech is taking over Sclederma patients only and I will be in the hands of a nurse practitioner

I was concerned about getting a letter allowing me to get my reconstruction from my implants that were removed that were from my Mastectomy. She did not discuss this with me and I hope to get a good follow up concerning this and what we are doing about using me as part of the research study. I need more follow up information.

Dr. Frech was absolutely outstanding! Because of her, my first experience at the University of Utah was comforting and positive. It continued to be throughout other appointments and lab work within the few days but Dr. Frech began the visit off wonderfully and followed-up immediately when she got results. My impression of her was a very dedicated, caring, intelligent, and personable doctor.

MAJOR misinformation concerning this visit! From referring physician to MA to Dr Frech. ALL gave me incorrect info about this appointment. I can excuse Dr Frech as she said she dealt only with info given to her. Still, she does not seem to have followed up by speaking with a colleague about my medical concerns. I am VERY disappointed with the UU Hosp system!

After waiting an hour to see Dr. Frech, I don't feel that we were given an adequate amount of time with her. She spoke quickly, and kept saying that our waiting so long to get in was "not her fault". I now have five more appointments with other physicians to try and figure out what is going on. I would say that Dr. Frech spoke with us for no more than 15 minutes before we were ushered back to the scheduling desk to make the other appointments. And she said I was to come back in 3 months for a follow-up visit, before she rushed off to see her next patient.I understand she is busy, but our time is important as well, and I have been dealing with my medical symptoms for over a year with no specific answer. I am tired of going to more doctors for more tests. And I don't appreciate spending my short amount of time with Dr. Frech listening to her say the scheduling mix-up was not her fault, and then having her say I needed more tests before moving on to her next patient. I felt rushed, and frustrated that I am not getting any answers.

Not much communication, just filled out the questionson the computer.

Care made a bit easier as I came prepared. Had information needed to give to provider that would make care easier and more informed. Copy of blood pressures, current immunizations, etc.

Good

I loved Dr.Frech she is amazing

Dr Frech is the finest physician I have ever encountered. I am very sorry to see her move to a practice specialty that doesn't include my illness.

Dr. Freck was way behind and so everything was very hurried.

The quality of care I get from Dr Frech is amazing and the real ongoing concern for your needs for your disease. I learned more from her in two visits than I did with my previous doctor who I had seen for 12+ yrs. I love her person attention to me the patient is amazing and it helps when you have scleroderma and don't know if all your problems are disease related or not. You need more doctors like her. I don't mind if I have to wait because I know all my concerns will be addressed before I leave the office. She needs to train more doctors to be like her.

Being a dermatologist is very hard because their is a lot of questions as patient to our doctor and we know how busy they get even though Dr frech is very patient .and answer's all questions we ask .and she gives us enough time to ask and talk about anything of our health .

Dr Frech was very rushed, as apparently she had ben double booked that morning. I did feel that it would have been nice to have the time to review things a little more thoroughly.

Dr. Frech is very good and willing to help, and answers all questions, but she talks so fast that I can't always understand what she is telling me. I wish she would repeat instructions just to help me understand. JI just don't think as fast as she does.

Dr. Frech is the very best.

Dr. Frech is the very best! We are so lucky to have her in our area.

Dr. Frech was very kind and concerned about me when I told her My father had just passed away.

Dr. Frech is, literally, the only person alive who understands my disease and its impacts on my life. She's is incredible and eases the stress I am under due to my sickness.

I drive from Las Vegas to see Dr Frech because she is worth the trip

Best Dr I have ever had in my life! Goes above and beyond to help me with all of my medical issues!

This was my 3rd visit to see this doctor. The first time I came prepared with a lot of written questions and concerns. Since tests were needed to diagnose, most of my questions were put off. This time, the dr was running behind and so the visit was even quicker than normal. My expectations were very much disappointed. I understand that at this point with the tests showing normal that there is not much the dr could do at this time but taking time to explain what to look for, what symptoms I should be aware of or even what steps can be taken at this point would have been helpful. I very much felt like I had driven 450 miles for nothing. The questions I had about medications were handled through the MyChart program.

again, always the best of care

it was a busy day I felt rushed and that I left without knowing where I stand. trying to double my medicine but I've not been doing well left frustrated

Both times that I have had appointments with Dr. Frech, I feel like she is so rushed that I can barely express any of my concerns or questions because she just rushes through the appointment. I also travel a long way to get there, and then when she is only in there with me for five minutes, I feel like I don't get much out of being there.

Dr. Frech is a incredible asset to the University. As a patient, and physician, she is thorough compassionate provider who always has something new to help you move forward!

I think she is wonderful

Physician and Nurse Practioner took time needed to explain and outline plan of care.

I truly appreciate Dr. Frechs patient care which is outstanding at all times. She truly, truly cares for her patients and wants the very best for us. She even follows up personally when illness is severe. I feel very lucky to be under her care and am confident that I'm in the best of hands. Bravo!

Dr Frech feels like a doctor friend.. not just a doctor.

Outstanding care by Dr Frech

Dr. Frech is always nice, courteous and shows real concern about how I am feeling.

:) 2 thumbs UP!!

I recommend Dr. Frech all of the time because her care is top notch, her capacity to communicate is unmatched, she is up-to-date on current standards of care for my illness, she is supportive when I have questions or concerns and she is always willing to discuss possible alternative ideas I may have. Last, but certainly not least, she is so very compassionate and caring. She is a patient's dream doctor.

I have recommended Dr. Frech to several individuals in the past and will in the future.

Dr. Frech gave me everything I wanted out of my initial appointment and more.

The physician did not know why I was there. This suggests a lack of communication and undermines the ability to develop confidence in the care received.

Dr Frech is the best; feel blessed to have her as my doctor!

Dr. Frech is Great! I have total confidence in her and her care.

Dr. Frech is competent and compassionate.

Dr. Frech is the very best. She is honest and dedicated to her profession and to her patients.

just not sure what I am supposed to see with the two new medications Dr Freck prescribed for me.

I don't really want to recommend my doc to anyone because she is already so booked out that I don't want to make it harder for myself. plus- they can go somewhere else and get treatment for their issue a lot quicker

I do not have the words to express my respect, trust, appreciation and deep gratitude for Dr. Frech. She is an exceptionally competent, compassionate, dedicated, devoted and committed professional. She cares deeply about me and her other patients. Dr. Frech demonstrates her passion for helping and treating each one of us with her honesty and respect, as well as her knowledge, experience, her heart and soul, every day. She is an amazingly talented woman and I am so fortunate to have her as my physician.

Excellent experience

she takes time with me has sent me for tests and specialists I feel confident in the care she gives me

I have referred others to Dr. Frech

I don't just blindly check all "Very Good", in fact, from a statistical perspective it bothers me that there is no variance! ;) However, I consider each question carefully. I could provide explanations as to why I checked each answer. The rating scale for Dr. Frech needs a "Truly Exceptional" option!

very good doctor, but I come 2 times a year and would of liked my time instead of being rushed. who ever the doctor was who pushed 2 patients on her needs a bad point not Tracy she is one of my greatest doctors

Doctor Frech is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!

very good doctor

Dr. Frech is outstanding in her field and also manages to be friendly and caring. I feel that she hears me and treats me as an individual, not as a collection of lab results.

After waiting for almost four months for my initial appointment it was very disappointing and frustrating to hear that I would need to wait another six months for a follow up appointment to discuss my test results and possibly start some type of treatment plan. I think Dr. Frech was great however I can't recommend her to someone knowing they will have to wait so long to possibly get help for their medical concerns.

She asked great questions, REALLY listened, explained things extremely well, and was very thorough. It was probably the best appointment with a doctor I've ever experienced.

Scleroderma patients are blessed to have Dr. Frech in our city. To have such a rare disease is hard but to know someone is a specialist close to your home is comforting.

I recommend Dr. Frech to everyone I meet who is afflicted with an autoimmune disease. I have confidence knowing that she is an expert in her field. She is understanding, caring, and kind; always taking the time needed to discuss concerns and treatment plans.

just didn't get time to ask my questions with Dr. Frech.

It was good

Dr. Frech didn't just throw more pills at me to help me with medical problems, but she thought outside the box and has a completely different approach than any other Dr. I've been to. It gave me new hope that I would actually get some help!

love Dr Frech

Dr. Frech is a wonderful doctor. she is very knowledgable, and makes me feel confident that I am receiving the best treatment for me. she rules out all possibilities and medications for what can help

At times, the doctor spoke a little fast and used medical terminology unfamiliar to us.

A little concerned about the test she scheduled. I get it figured out - CT Chest ordered twice.

so kind, knowledgeable and nice!

LOVE Dr. Frech!

I feel extremely comfortable with my provider especially her knowledge and expertise

Dr Frech is an outstanding and compassionate physician.

Even though she is very busy and appointments are short, she makes sure to fully explain things to me including her theories, medications she prescribes and refferal she makes for me and she always makes sure all of my questions are answered before my appointment is over. She genuinely cares about my health.

She is an excellent Dr who cares for her patients ... .really cares and treats them like human beings not animals.

I know that I was very fortunate to be seen by Dr. Frech for her opinion on my problem. She did an outstanding job of explaining everything in a professional yet very friendly manner. I had been told by the appointment scheduler and others that I would really like her, and I did/do.

Dr. Frech is awesome. She has all the qualities of a truly great doctor and a woman of great character. I feel blessed to be in her care.

I wish there were more doctors around as caring as doctor Frech. She is a wonderful doctor and is up on all the latest research. I would recommend her to anyone!

She gave me hope. :)

Tracy Frech is the best doctor I've ever seen, and I've seen allot of doctors. She always has a friendly disposition. She makes me feel important and cared for. She always address my needs, and talks to me like a person. Other doctors don't. I feel very comfortable and in good hands with her. She is great, I love her!

Dr Frech is very concerned about my health and is open to alternatives regarding my care

Dr. Tracy Frech has been my rheumatologist for about 8 years, she is an excellent physician and the consumate professional

Love My Chart. Appreciated quickness with which Drs office answered my My Chart request

I wish I had asked more questions but at the time I didn't think about things I would like to know. Mostly regarding the Scleroderma, particularly in my lower right leg. Will it be getting worse and more restrictive with pain increasing?

Even though I hate coming to the doctor, I honestly have enjoyed every visit thus far. Tracy is so informative and explains all my concerns and questions thoroughly and in ways that I fully understand.

I loved this dr....it was like we were friends

Dr. Frech really follow up all my concerns and needs. I really appreciate all her effort to help me to move forward my recovery.

Dr. Frech is an awesome provider; she truly cares and goes the extra mile. I recommend Dr. Frech to everyone I meet who needs a Rheumatologist!

Exceptional care in every way!

Dr. Frech is Amazing & has and continues to help me a lot!!!

Dr. French is amazing, she is my favorite doctor I have ever had, she is easy to talk to & friendly, and is willing to take the time to try & help me with my issues even though my issues most likely do not lie in her area of expertise

Dr. Frech is an exceptional rheumatologist. She is genuine and proactive. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and explain my symptoms and treatment options. She communicates regularly with my other doctors to ensure I am receiving the best care possible.

Dr Frech just needs to slow down a lil bit otherwise she is an excellent Dr. So is Dr Kunkel.

I could not be more pleased with Tracy.

just frustrated with my pain level and not much help on trying to fix it. (waiting for ENT apt thinking had answers but he didn't help any either.

I feel so fortunate to have Dr. Frech as my rheumatologist. She is warm, friendly, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things to me. She takes a genuine interest in my health, and communicates regularly with my other doctors to ensure I am receiving the best care and treatment possible.

Dr. Frech is always a pleasure to see. Not only is she extremely nice, but she is also extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and conscientious. Could not ask for a better physician!

I always look forward to my appointments with Dr. Freck. Her energy and focus is ruely refreshing. I have come to fully trust her thoughts and diagnoses.

Dr. Frech knew more about my diagnosis than I expected. She was very concerned and very helpful. I've been struggling for several years and in one visit i felt as if she understood what I've been going through. Again, she made me feel i was right where i needed to be and gave me hope that i will feel better in the near future. She made a lot of sense.

Dr. Frech was amazing! I loved her positive energy and communication skills. She was not arrogant, she listened and understood my conditions and was very knowledgeable about my conditions. Dr. Frech didn't dismiss my symptoms as depression and/or lack of sleep. I felt like she believed me and understood the suffering I have experience the last 10 yrs and was ready to help me. She was everything I needed from a doctor and more. I cried on my way home because I knew she was an answer to my prayers.

Dr Frech was rushed, but kind and wanted to make sure my questions were addressed. I appreciate that she gave me that focused and uninterrupted attentention, despite how busy she clearly is. I felt heard, understood, included in treatment, and HOPEFUL for once.

I have always liked coming to Dr. Frech. Knowledgable and friendly. rady to answer any questions I might have.

As always, excellent.

The Dr. & fellow were excellent & took lots of time explaining & consulting. They diagnosed several problems & when I left, I wished I had more detailed information in WRITING for reference when I couldn't remember so much new info.

My only hesitation recommending my provider to others is the lengthy wait time involved to get an appointment.

I LOVE Dr. Frech!

Dr Frech is Awesome.

Dr Frech cares about the whole package, not just your specific diagnosis.

I continue to come to the University Hospital because of the care provided to me by Dr. Frech. She is committed to patient care and has made a big difference in my quality of life.

Dr. Frech is a very smart & bubbly woman. I was pleased that she took the time to cover some of the basic areas (this was an initial consultation). She also communicated in a manner that was easy for all patients to understand what she was talking about. I am looking forward to my next appt & hopefully a clearer picture on my health.

Dr. Frech has been absolutely wonderful! She takes the time to explain things to me, listens to my concerns and answers my questions. She responds promptly to my emails. I appreciate that she advocates preventative care, and she is very supportive with the frustrating aspects of my condition.

Dr. Frech understands and respects that I, as her patient, consider her informed advice and then decide what I will do. She actually gets better compliance from me than my last rheumatologist because she helps me understand how the medications help me, as well as the risk factors involved with different treatment options, so that I can make an informed decision I feel good about. She doesn't spend a great deal of time with you, but somehow she packs those minutes in with a whole lot of information as well as genuine listening. I always feel like I've have my concerns addressed in a respectful manner.

I highly recommend Dr. Frech. She is kind, caring and highly competent.

I'm a difficult patient I am always a challenge

Dr Frech is great!

I see a number of medical providers. Dr. Frech is, by far, my favorite. She will always work to fit me in, if necessary, and instead of telling me what I need to do, she and I are a team on my medical treatment. She's wonderful.

this wa the best doctor appt I have had in a very long time. I went from hopeless to having hope!

What good is a great doctor if you can't make a timely appointment?

As always, Dr. Frech is great about talking to me about anything.

Dr Frech is top of the line. She is very proactive to insure she minimizes the possibility of being forced to have to treat to unnecessary complications.

I enjoy my visits with Dr. Frech. She does every thing she can for me and we even have a good laugh.

Over the last forty years I have seen several rheumatologists, Dr. Frech is the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, communicates information and medical options clearly.

I love Dr Frech she takes the time to answer all my questions without talking down to me and is truly concern about me and my concerns.

I felt as if my own doctor didn't really care much about me while getting this infusion.

I was very happy with Dr. Frech. I feel like she will be the perfect doctor for me and it was the first time, since being treated by a previous doctor I had several years ago, that I felt my doctor knew what she was talking about with my particular disease. I have waited a long time to get the help I need.

i found the care providers very engaging and interested in helping me with my medical needs.

Dr. Frech is always a class act. I have recommended her to numerous people. Very friendly, kind etc. Even though she is rushed, she always gives me her undivided attention. Kind of like I'm the only one that matters.

All good.

Dr. Frech is ALWAYS excellent in all areas!

felt rushed

Dr. Frech is a very good rheumatologist, I have flourished under her care.

Love Dr. Frech can't wait for my next apt. to find out the results on the tests she performed.

I have used several rheumatologists, and Dr. Frech is by far the best! I love her personality, and she is very knowledgeable.

Love having both Dr Frech and Dr Hatton available for appointments and available to consult together regarding care for scleraderma and pulmonary hypertension. There are not many scleraderma specialty clinics across the country. We are very fortunate to have those resources here.

I love Dr. Frech. Because I have to drive down from Pocatello for my visits, there has been two times that I was late due to unexpected traffic and construction. Dr. Frech still saw me and spent as much time with me as if I had been on time.

Dr Frech is the very best. She is worth driving from utah county. She is great at listening and explaining to my situation. She makes going to the doctors enjoyable.

Dr Frech is fantastic. One of the best doctros I have ever seen.

Dr. Frech is always a class act!!! Very friendly. Takes the time to address my needs or questions. Tells me to send her questions through "MyChart" if needed, the list goes on.

I'd recommend Dr. Frech to anyone who was not in need of immediate care, despite the wait.

I love Dr. Frech!!!

great

I have felt very good about my care with Dr. Frech. However, she has seemed "rushed" when she is with me recently. Consequently, I forget some of my questions. I make a 75 minute drive to come there to see her, I was in and out so fast I felt somewhat unimportant.

Dr. Frech is an exceptional care giver, and I greatly appreciate having her as one of my physicians!

I am sending yet another patient to her!!! The one I already sent really appreciated my referral.

Dr Frech is always professional and courteous

Dr. Frech is exceptional!

want informed about side effects of drugs and what to look for when taking med

Dr French is a great dr I don't feel rushed and I feel she is listening to me when I have concerns about cost etc

Great doctor. She answers any questions that I have. She always shows concern over my medical issues. She has a very caring demeanor about her. She makes me feel like I am her only pt. I would recommend her to anyone.

I love Dr. Frech - she's knowledgeable, thorough, conscientious, and professional - it's obvious her patients' well-being is her top priority.

Dr. Frech is the excellent.

Dr. Frech is wonderful! She listens and always is very thorough, explaining everything in a way I can understand.

I feel very lucky to have Dr. Frech as my doctor. My problems are very frustrating, but I have every confidence in her concern, competency, and desire to improve my health and quality of life.

Dr. Frech has been fabulous to me

Dr Frech and Dr Hatton are very concerned with my health and well-being and both take time to find out if there is anything they can do to help me.

I am very pleased and satisfied with the care provided to me by Dr. Frech.

Dr Frech always takes the time to talk with me! Even after a year, I'm still learning about my RA and she is always more than willing to help me learn! And I have already recommended her to a co worker who has an appt next week!!
