"Dr.Ham performed my c-section back in 2018 and he did an incredible job of calming my nerves and reassuring me and my husband that this was the best option for me and my baby. He was kind and calm and very professional."
— WebMD Care - Patient review for Dr. Larry Ham"Dr. Fretwell treated me with so much care and respect that I was feeling rather guilty about being so apprehensive initially. My child is now a very healthy 15 years old girl and over the years I still tried to see Dr fretwell as often as I could."
— Vitals - Patient review for Dr. Cynthia Fretwell"I’m very annoyed I had an appointment... I was 15 minutes late... When I arrived they told me u was more than 14 minutes late so they wouldn’t see me. I spent 2 hours in my car in traffic... I’m not going back to this office."
