Dr. Frischhertz is thorough, asks good questions, asks what others on her care team are seeing, and allows time for our questions or concerns. Very professional and patient focused.

I cannot stress enough how amazing Dr. F. Was in our visit. This was our first time at Vanderbilt Health and he took the time to explain my son's heart, drew a picture of it, went over every possibility of care plan from medication management, imaging, procedures, possible surgeries etc. He was extremely thorough and made sure to include my son/the patient in a patient centered approach. My son is on the Spectrum, but still wants to be involved in everything about his care. This all made for an amazing visit. Thank you
