UofU Patient November 18, 2013
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.
UofU Patient November 04, 2013I have always liked coming to Dr. Frech. Knowledgable and friendly. rady to answer any questions I might have.
UofU Patient October 14, 2013As always, excellent.
UofU Patient September 30, 2013The 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.
UofU Patient September 25, 2013My only hesitation recommending my provider to others is the lengthy wait time involved to get an appointment.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013Dr Frech is Awesome.
UofU Patient September 23, 2013I LOVE Dr. Frech!
UofU Patient September 23, 2013Dr Frech cares about the whole package, not just your specific diagnosis.
UofU Patient September 02, 2013I 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.
UofU Patient August 23, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient August 22, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient August 19, 2013Dr. 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.
UofU Patient July 25, 2013I highly recommend Dr. Frech. She is kind, caring and highly competent.

UofU Patient April 20, 2012I 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.
