I am so happy with my decision to go from TCO in Blaine to Summit. My recent appointment with Dr Freehill exceeded my expectations. He explained my scapula fracture better than 3 other orthopedics. He went over the reality that there may be nothing that can be done to fix my fracture. But graciously is contacting a world renowned scapula expert _surgeon. Explaining that if he says that nothing can be done then that would be that I will just have to live with it. I appreciate Dr Freehill for just telling it like it is.

I appreciate the second opinion by Dr. Freehill, done without judgement, and I was made to feel comfortable asking questions. I'm scheduled with another Summit provider for surgery, and Dr Freehill met with me and gave me his perspective and what he would do if I was his surgical patient. As an RN myself who hasn't had much personal experience with surgery as a patient, I wanted to get another perspective to help me validate my decision and he definitely helped me with that.

Everyone was wonderful! We came for a second opinion on my daughters shoulder as we felt we're not listened to by previous doctor we had seen! He answered all of the questions and explained everything in a way we didn't felt "talked down to" He listened to my daughters concerns and she left feeling listened to which was something she felt hadn't happed before with previous physicians and another place! I'm so happy we were referred to see Dr. Freehill)

I really felt that Dr. Freehill gave me all the answers without hurrying me. He took plenty of time and carefully went through the imagery of my shoulder. Just a very positive experience. The same with the rest of the team.

Dr. Freehill & his PA were both receptive to my questions & took time to explain their answers also, they never tried to minimize my pain, or tell me it is "not so bad" - an experience I've had w/providers elsewhere.

Dr. Freehill is very good at explaining what he sees and what he thinks should be done. I felt I was part of the decision to wait for a while before surgery.
