“Undoubtedly, the absolute best experience I have ever had visiting a doctor’s office! The ambience was welcoming, and warm, yet professional.
Dr. Caroline Fruge was superb! This was my first visit to a podiatrist’s office and she made me feel comfortable with her kind, professional and direct manner. I was a bit concerned about the foot pain I was experiencing, and her way of explaining what was occcuring to my feet was both reassuring and comforting.
I shall most definitely recommend Dr. Fluge quite highly! A most pleasant experience indeed.”

January 14, 2025Kelly L.Verified patient
I came into office with a new injury and was very concerned. The doctor knew my history and really calmed me down. She outlined a plan to treat my injury and assured me she would do her best to get me back on my feet. She is excellent doctor and has a conservative approach to treatment. This day and age that is a major plus for a doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Fruge.

I had a very good experience on my visit. This was my first time there. The doctor was very attentive to my concerns, x-rayed my feet and explained her findings in clear detail. She was very friendly and best of all, I was in and out in less than 30 minutes.
June 11, 2024Syanna W.Verified patient
I have no problem with Dr. Fruge. She was great. However my issue is with her office staff. They were supposed to be checking with my insurance to see if my orthotics would be covered. My appt was 3 weeks ago and I still do not know if they are covered. I have called several times and emailed on the portal. Last week I spoke to someone who said they were the one who would be the one checking on it but they had been out of the office. Fine, even though it had already been two weeks since my appt. Anyway, I was told that they would definitely call me by 1 on Monday. It’s now Tuesday and I still have not heard from them. This extremely frustrating for me

10/10 this was first time booking with Zocdoc and it was so easy. I came in let them know who I was and I had an appointment. They had my fill out a new patient form which was super easy and thorough. I went in for a sprained ankle check up and it was quick and easy and had my leaving in a new wrap like thing and was immediately ready to walk properly again.

April 30, 2024Tasha M.Verified patient
Overall, it was a good experience. I was in and out very quickly and felt good about making another appointment if needed. The only con was that it did feel very rushed.
