  Excellent, Professional, Caring Pediatric Doctor in VT..., Feb 23, 2010

I took my son to Dr Friesen for his normal check-up and had a wonderful experience. The secretarial staff was friendly, the waiting room was clean and because of the latest h1n1 scares, there were no toys to play with, which in my opinion was a great idea. Dr. Friesen is a gentle, loving doctor. He answered every question I had with knowledgeable answers, but in terms i could understand. I would definitely recommend this doctor to everyone i know who has children.

  poor psychiatrist will not go back under any circumstances..., Nov 26, 2011

Unless you have addiction problems, I would not see this guy. Maybe he is better with alcoholics. With mental health issues, he is terrible, does not listen, does not care, will not answer your questions, and obviously has many preconceived notions that he is unwilling to explain.
  Best MD I ever had! Believes in treating with the patiet's mind instead of massive drugs for a quick..., Nov 14, 2011

As a football player at The Ohio State University, and also 6 year professional football player (All-Pro), Dr Smayda is one of the best two I have ever had. The other doctor is orthopedic so he doesnt count in this review. Dr Smayda goes way beyond what most doctors do in a standard check up and will stay on top of your healing process and the rountine he expects you to follow! You will not be looked at as a "fast food" patient like many other physicians do who are so concerned with the number of patients they have instead of thoroughly TREATING the ones they already have. Dr Smayda WILL listen, research, understand, and diagnose your problem to the fullest extent and beyond until you are healed. I wish he didnt move to New York! he saved my life and brought me from full diabetic with insulin shots, high cholestoral, high blood pressure, and massive weight gain to a 60 lb lighter person who only takes vitamins. He lower and got rid of everything negative I mentioned WITHOUT the use of medication but rather with a diagnosis tailored specifically for me.
  Stay away from this doctor to have a happy pregnancy and healthy baby...., Oct 15, 2011

I will suggest every mommy-to-be to stay away from this doctor. Her first meeting will be ok but as you progress in next months she pays no attention. She does not suggest any Dos, Don’ts. She prescribes some obsolete multi-vitamins (which is essential for the mommy and baby). She did not prescribe me the latest multi-vitamins with DHA, which is good for baby’s brain. Neither she advised me to have fresh vegetables and fruits. All she says is - do not eat at Wendy’s and eat Potato & Rice. She tries to scare you for everything. She told me to go for C-Section, because- 1. if you don’t you are old fashioned . Even Jews are going for it 2. C-Section is safest way 3. C-Section is like going to a salon with appointment 4. She has seen many complications in the Natural deliveries (no wonder who gives medical care to them). She gives scary stories and forces you to go for C-Section, for no reason. And when I said I want to go the natural way, she got upset and she called us orthodox. I mean why should someone go for C-Section when there is no necessity. She is very much money minded. This is from my person experience. I want to save some soon-to-be-moms from this doctor and have a happy pregnancy and healthy baby.
  Healing wonderful exclent awesome fantastic joy peace..., Sep 22, 2011

Dr. Shah and his staff have a 6 yr realtionship with me. I ws not his most strat forward case to say the least. But when no one else would treat me there he was. With his warm smile and friendly bedside manner, telling me I was going to be ok. I went to Dr. not because I was in an accident, but because one morning I woke up and could not open my mouth, and I was in such pain that at that point giving birth to a baby elephant would have been easier, and less painful. By the time I seen Dr. I had lost over 80lbs because I was unalbe to open my mouth nothing was getting in and even water was hard to swallow. I had been in and out of the hospital several times and at one point doctors told me I would need a feeding tube. But then came Dr Shah, something in his eyes told me I was going to be saved, and here it is 6yrs later. I am 3months out of a complete replacement of the RT. Jaw and I feel FANTASTIC! I cried yesterday not in pain, but in joy. I eat my first apple in 6yrs! Dr Shah gave that to me. What a gift! I owe him and his wonderful staff so very much. There are no words but I will try. You gave me back my joy, sanity, smile and my life. I promise not to waste it. Many THANKS from the bottom of my heart Dr. Shah.
