I've been seeing Dr Fretz for over 15 years and couldn't be happier with the care I've received over the years. Office staff has always been friendly and professional. I drive 30 minutes to get to her office after moving and have zero complaints. Couldn't recommend Flat Rock Physicians more

I love Dr Fretz, and the staff is friendly, but follow up / communication is horrible. I use express scripts and the office called in my prescription to cvs. Not a big deal, but Ive asked twice to have it changed and no difference. One of my visits was coded wrong (should have been a physical) and Ive sent 3 different emails via their portal asking it to be changed and there has been no response. My mother has had to call multiple times and finally walk in to get them to answer questions. All in all, I think were staying and have decided this is the price we have to pay to get a doc as

I have been coming to this office for 3 years now, and have had nothing but amazing service! The staff is so efficient and friendly, always quick to be able to fit my family and I on the schedule if need be. They are always to help when I have questions or need refills. I really love the online portal system where you can get results and message the doctors. The Doctors are so nice and knowledgeable. I have been to several downriver clinics and this is by far my favorite office. I can't imagine going to any other office!
