  Today February 16th, appointment at 330, my husband came home @430. It's so frustrating how long they take to see scheduled patients. Max wait time should be 30mins! Not 1hr! Also, there's never any communication as well! Some of the front desk ladies are just not so friendly. They always have a moody face for no reason!

  I personally went to Dr Fruchter as a kid when he first became a doctor and now my twins have seen him for the past 14 years. He is very thorough and genuinely cares about his patience. The fact that I bring my kids to him as our primary doctor should say it all. I can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Dr. Joe!

  Horrible experience with this Dr. we had been complaining about her skin being yellow and feeding and vomitting issues since birth. 3 months later my daughter ended up in the hospital and we finally found out she had serious liver issues and tumors in the liver.<br>They also keep sending us a bill due to them not having correct insurance information. Now it has become my problem. I have a letter from my insurance stating they contacted the provider and were told not to bill us. Yet I continue to get billed.

  Dr. Joseph S. Fruchter has been an incredible blessing to our family. From the very beginning, he has been a source of guidance, reassurance, and exceptional care for our children, Amna and Amaan. As their pediatrician since birth, Dr. Fruchter has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure their health and well-being, and we are endlessly grateful for his dedication.<br><br>What truly stands out about Dr. Fruchter is his genuine compassion and the way he connects with both kids and parents. Amna and Amaan absolutely adore him. They walk into his office with a level of comfort and trust that is rare for children during doctor visits. He always takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure that we, as parents, feel informed and confident about their care. It's clear that this isn't just a job to him--it's a calling.<br><br>Even when we moved 25 miles away, there was no question about staying with Dr. Fruchter. The peace of mind he gives us as parents, combined with how much the kid

  El pediatra bien.<br>Pero la persona que me atendio al telefono hombre fue discrimitorio al no querer hablar espanol. Y decirme que dijera en ingles que busco a alguien que hable espanol.<br>Siendo que la comunidad latina es muy grande.
