    Dr. Frye and the other doctor that saw me were absolutely wonderful. They were so easy to talk to and they listened to what I had to say and included my daughter and son-in-law in the conversations. They explained everything very clearly and made the options I had very clear. They truly love being doctors and working with their patients. On a scale of 1 to10 they both are 100.
