What Patients Are Saying

|

I was very nervous seeing a cardiologist for the first time due to some red flags on my test results. In meeting cardiologist, Dr. Frogge I instantly was put at ease. Dr. Frogge’s way of explaining my test results and devising a plan to address them was incredible.

He explained in great detail what the test results showed and how we were going to move forward. His sincere and easy to understand demeanor made me feel like I was family. Dr. Frogge is a credit to the cardiologist profession.

We feel much better after our visit with Dr. Frogge today! He took the time to explain what is happening with my husband’s heart and how it affects the lungs, etc. We now have a better understanding and a plan going forward!

Dr. Frogge was so good! My father-in-law has difficulty hearing and Dr. Frogge was so patient with him. Dr. Frogge explained a lot more about his heart than we previously knew, and he did it in a way that we could more fully understand my father-in-law’s heart condition.
