We absolutely adore Dr. Frac. He has cared for our oldest daughter for the last five years. It was a no brainer to pick him as our second daughter's doctor. Dr. Frac is so thoughtful, patient, kind and knowledgeable. He has what my husband and I like to call "an old school approach" to children's care, meaning he's not quick to throw medicine at the problem or order multiple tests. He's of course very knowledgeable with current medical resources. He gives you confidence as a parent that your child will be okay.

Dr. Frac makes a child's visit an easy experience with his genuine, comical ways. He's also appreciated by parents because he takes time to answer questions/concerns through knowledge and experience. His confidence in examining a child is a great comfort with the appointment. It is one of the many reasons that we changed pediatricians and left the last practice. And I am glad that we did! I am happy that Dr. Frac is on call for my children, thank you.

Excellent. Dr. Frac is light hearted, and a very good communicator with my son and his needs. His sense of humor puts all at ease.

Dr. Frac was covering for Dr. Reilly today as Dr. Reilly had a family emergency. He did an amazing job and was personable, compassionate and caring.

Dr Frac is just excellent. My 3 year old really wanted him to also give her doll a check up and he happily did it. Checking the doll's heart and ears to make sure she was okay.
