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 is an excellent care provider and I have both of my boy's 13 & 16 see him. He makes them feel comfortable, engages with them, talks about the awkwardness of those teenage years and puberty.

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. During the time that he spent with us, you would've never known that the office had heavy hearts for Dr. Reilly and was working so hard to provide quality care for all patients. Dr. Frac is the ultimate professional and relates well to patients and parents.
Dr Frac listens to his patients' concerns and provides helpful solutions to their problems.
