Dr. Fruhbauer continues to conduct appointments with high regard for the patient. She uses active listening techniques to elicit information and expresses verbal empathy frequently to maintain rapport with the patient. She is encouraging about lifestyle choices to help the patient achieve healthy living goals. She involves the patient in deciding on a mutually acceptable course of treatment.

Very complete review of my current health.
March 8, 2026
I had my wellness visit with Dr. MArgaret Frubauer and it was my first time seeing her. I was very impressed with how thorough she,was. She even called me back herself that night to answer questions I had about my blood test, which I had done in the lab right after my appointment with Dr. Frubauer. The lab was extremely busy, and I had to wait so long it ended up being 14 hours of fasting instead of 10-12 hours. My blow test showed dehydration. Once the technician took me back she was very good, very nice, and very professional.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Fruhbauer. She is, without question, one of the most attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring physicians I have ever had. Every visit with her feels personal and unrushed, and she has an incredible way of making you feel fully heard, supported, and understood.What stands out most is her attentiveness. She listens with intention, asks thoughtful questions, and never makes you feel like just another appointment on the schedule. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable, and she explains things in a way that is clear, reassuring, and empowering. I always leave her office feeling confident in my care and grateful to have her as my provider.Beyond her clinical expertise, it's her compassion that makes her extraordinary. She shows up with kindness, patience, and genuine concern every single time. You can feel how much she cares about her patients, and that level of dedication is rare.Dr. Fruhbauer is truly amazing, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have her as my primary care provider. She is a gift to her patients and to the entire healthcare community.Thank you all that you do Dr. Fruhbauer!

December 30, 2025
Very happy with Dr. Fruhbauer. She listens. She asks good questions. She explains options versus dictates. The only downside is the upcoming procedure she recommended was declined by my medical insurance provider as "not necessary". Seems to me like Dr. Fruhbauer's experience and hard-earned degree aren't respected by the insurance company. I'm hoping there's a way around it.

December 17, 2025
From the beginning of my medical journey, ALL personnel gave me a sense that I wasn't just a number, but a human with medical needs. Every receptionist, nurse, doctor, surgeon, anesthesiologist, surgical nurse, ICU nurse, etc., were more than professional, they gave me services that I never experienced […] . I couldn't recommend more highly your staff and facility. Thank you for such incredible care.
December 11, 2025
Poor bedside manner. Little to no eye contact with me. Talked over me when I tried to ask questions or make comments. Felt like I was not an important patient, more like a burden to meet with me.

Dr.Fruhbauer, consummate professional, takes her patients care seriously. Very comfortable and confident with her as my PCP.
December 9, 2025
My provider was very knowlegeable and caring. She asked all the right questions and recorded my responses. I was given physician advice on supplements. She was very thorough and upon leaving I stopped at the checkout counter and was given a summary of my visit. The provider had all my upcoming test listed and phone numbers I needed to schedule my test. I like this place. Everything is very clean and fresh looking. She even notified me of programs that were available for patients at Endeavor Health.
