Dr Fruchter is the BEST Doctor! He has been my son's doctor since birth. Thats 15 yrs and remembers everything about my Son and our family.That means alot
Dr. Fruchter is an amazing pediatrician. We really appreciate everything he's done for our kids. He has been amazing. He's very knowledgeable, very professional, and always available to help us when we need to make an appointment. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.
Dr. Fruchter explained things to me in a way that I understood. He was amazing and calmed our nerves when our child was sick.
Dr. Fruchter is a wonderful doctor. He always takes the time to explain things and he's always available whenever we need him.
Always a good experience with Dr. Fruchter.
