It took some time to go through the new patient review (where they decided if they would be able to help and see me), but the wait for my appt was well worth it. I felt listened to and felt like every avenue was going to be exhausted by Dr. Frank (sp sorry). it was the best experience I have ever had with a health care provider.

Tracy Frech is an amazing provider. It is obvious that she cares about each patient and also the dynamics in a patients life that can affect disease processes. My husband accompanied me to the appointment and she carefully explained the disease process and how stress can impact disease outcomes. We as a team discussed methods on decreasing stress as well as treatment strategies for my chronic disease. We felt that we came to treatment decisions together as a conversation. Dr. Frech is the epitome of what a doctor should be - caring and treating the patient as a whole individual with a team based approach with the patient and the patients advocate on the same team working cohesively.

I was very disappointed with my time with Dr. Frech. She was late to our appointment, and she rushed through with questions regarding medications, problems, etc.. I wanted to discuss several problems I have been having with swelling, joint pain, and some unexplained bruising. I dont feel she addressed my concerns adequately. She usually pinches my hands, checks my legs, and looks at the blood vessels in my fingers (I have Renauds). She then scheduled some tests for June, bloodwork ups, and left. Then several research assistants came in to ask if I would participate in several of Dr. Frechs (she asked them to come in).
