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.

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.
