About Edward J. Frech, M.D.
“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
Had my 1st in office consult with Dr Frech recently and it couldn't have gone better. He's extremely knowledgeable and explained everything to me so that I can understand it all. I've had health issues no doctor has been able to figure out for about 7 years now and he's made it known we're going to get this figured out! Would highly recommend him and his staff
I so appreciated Dr Frech taking the time to explain things and make sure I understood. He has a great bedside manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to others
Dr Frech is the best of the best. He listened, was thorough and friendly.
Everything was ok
Dr. Frech is very considerate, and takes good care of me and my condition. He is patient, answers questions, and is very knowledgable.
