Patient Reviews

Sep 30, 2024

I chose Dr Frakes as my Oncologist after referrals from 2 different Surgeons, a primary care doctor, my OB, and other patients of hers. She is clearly well respected! After my first consult with her she explained to me how & why she likes to be overly thorough & exactly what to expect with my treatment plan, etc.. she gave me a huge hug that day & it was everything I needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable & not afraid to reach out to other oncologists for opinions when needed. Her brain is constantly in ‘problem solving’ mode and it’s very obvious that her patients are her main priority. She is very direct and to the point, but explains things very well with a calming demeanor. She is everything a cancer patient needs.I would refer Dr Frakes ONE MILLION times over to anyone who needs an oncologist. She really is the best! Between Dr Frakes & the staff at CCare, they make this unfortunate journey feel MUCH less unfortunate! I thank my lucky stars for all of them!
