Dr. Freese is an outstanding doctor thorough, compassionate, and truly dedicated to her patients. She always takes the time to listen and make sure I feel heard and cared for. Her concern for my well being goes above and beyond every visit. I’ve been seeing her for many years because I trust her completely and appreciate the genuine care she provides. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines professionalism with such kindness and understanding. I highly recommend Dr. Freese to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring physician who truly puts her patients first.
