    Shank Fruchter demonstrated excellent bed side manner and took the time to clearly review anything I had questions on. She was great at reassuring me of a plan and impact of choices over the next year tied with my other personal medical issues that would impact my overall care if needed.

    She didn’t rush me & gave me a thorough examination. Dr. Fruchter listened to my concerns & answered all my questions, putting me at ease about my upcoming surgery.

    Dr Fruchter listens, explains everything, will repeat it if you don't understand and when I had a problem with the incision over the Thanksgiving weekend her PA & she both got back to me immediately. They didn't make you feel bad about calling on a holiday weekend, but was only concerned for your well being.
