Dr. Fredericks Is so incredibly good that I don't mind waiting. She takes time to listen and address all concerns. I wish all physicians did the same. She doesn't rush the visit and actually cares about your problems instead of rushing for the sake of seeing a patient every 15 minutes that administration wants you to see. Dr. Fredericks is a caring, brilliant physician. We need more like her.
