My doctor was good. He told me about my heart and what we would need to do about medicine, and he was fast.

He autism shamed my daughter straight up. Made her & myself feel less than because of her delays. No child should feel this way. He was more concerned with her speech than her heart, which isn't even his department!!

The doctor basically dismissed all of our concerns based on the echocardiogram. I have quite a concerning history of symptoms and family history of heart failure, and he dismissed my symptoms as normal for a teenager.

Our experience with Dr. Frischertz was excellent. He spent quite a bit of time with my husband and I, thoroughly explaining all concerns and issues. We left feeling confident under his care and look forward to him being my new cardiologist.
