Edward J. Frech, M.D.
Gastroenterologist
“Gastroenterology allows for a unique combination of primary patient care for complicated and diverse medical problems along with the ability to perform technical diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, both of which are appealing to me as a healthcare provider. I think our field allows us to care for a very diverse patient population and wide array of pathology, perhaps more so than other fields in internal medicine. In addition, we have a unique ability to perform a variety of technical diagnostic and potentially emergent therapeutic procedures.
“I think in this day and age, patients come to see physicians with a specific agenda and have very specific needs they would like met. I try to give every patient I see as much time as they feel comfortable with tending to their needs. I get great satisfaction when a patient leaves my office and feels that I listened to them and really helped them address their specific needs.
“I hope they leave my office feeling like they accomplished whatever goals they had before coming in – whether that means listening to their complaints or addressing specific medical needs. I want patients to feel like we are a team and we address their needs together. I spend time listening to patients, addressing their needs and giving them the time to ensure their needs are met.”
In his free time, Dr. Frech enjoys enjoy cooking, skiing, hiking and spending time with my family. His true passion is anything and everything to do with soccer, particularly European soccer, namely AC Milan and FC Barcelona, which he follows religiously.

Reviews
Dr. Frech was a doctor I happened upon when my former gastroenterologist retired. I have been THRILLED with every visit, encounter and/or procedure with him! He has been patient, easy-to-talk-to, understanding, knowledgeable and professional!
My most recent appointment proved once again, how much he cares about MY situation, as he suggested alternatives for me to try. He shows his expertise by concentrating solely on what’s happening with me! I like that!
He and his staff are amazing and I would recommend them any time, any place, with any gastrointestinal procedure. THE BEST EVER!

The care I received was amazing!
My visit with your office was particularly frustrating. Not the service received by the doctor, but my exchange with your staff prior to seeing Dr. Frech. I am writing a detailed summary of what transpired before the examination, which I will send you in a separate letter. Thank you.
Best gut doctor I have seen. He really cares about my health.
All good. Doctor had to run off to another procedure. He called my wife I wish I could have talked to him also.
