The doctor and the nurse treated me politely. They explained everything clearly. They take care of my health very well. They made me feel good and safe. I believe in them and I think my disease will be treated well, and my health will be better. I thank the doctor, the nurse and all of you so much

Great experience considering talking about colon and GI health can be a little awkward. I felt very comfortable and the staff were very knowledgeable

Dr Frankhouse is an excellent surgeon and is taking every possible measure towards improving my health and life. He is an extremely intelligent person, but he never speaks down' to me and he is able to speak with me on my level of understanding complex issues. I value his honesty, integrity and experience in his chosen specialty.

Dr. Rotramel is one of the best physicians I've ever met. She is so caring and kind and explains things clearly.


Oct 16, 2024

Dr. Rotramell has a wonderful sense of humor! I've never laughed so much while having my nether regions inspected!


Oct 13, 2024

Very calm, quiet, and friendly environment.


Oct 04, 2024

A senior founding surgeon that was engaged and effective in my routine non-surgical case. Dr. Frankhouse familiarized himself with my medical history, referring to other providers by name and attributing history information to them accurately. Communicated diagnosis and options clearly and left decision making to me. Notes and follow up were very comprehensive. Demeanor was pleasant and engaged. Staff seemed "with it", competent, and empathetic.


Sep 28, 2024

All went well and all involved were polite and patient.


Sep 21, 2024

I came to Dr. Rotramel after a disappointing experience with another provider, and the difference has been remarkable. Dr. Rotramel truly listens to my concerns and takes the time to understand the nuances of my situation. She collaborates with me to create a personalized plan, making me feel both heard and supported. It's rare to find a provider who is not only attentive to my emotional needs but also incredibly knowledgeable and proactive in managing my health. I'm deeply grateful to be in her care and confident that we're on the right path together.


Sep 06, 2024

She is patient and a good listener.


Aug 29, 2024

Excellent Doctor! My first visit and he explained everything and answered all of my questions and I feel confident with Dr Butler.


Aug 29, 2024

I had been seeing another surgeon for my colon cancer. Colon cancer is scary stuff. Dr Franhouse was a breath of fresh air and head and shoulder above this other person in all regards. I trust him implicitly.


Jul 27, 2024

Dr.Rotramel is professional,yet warm. Her communication and interpersonal skills are far superior to any physician I have ever seen. She explains everything in a respectful, easy to understand way.Seriously, as an octogenarian I have seen many health care providers over my lifetime and I would rate her as the best I have ever encountered.


Jul 14, 2024

Have already recommended dr to others.


Jul 13, 2024

Dr. Rotramel is AMAZING. One of the best doctors I've ever seen. So so so knowledgeable and understanding and good at communicating and good at putting you at ease I literally could not possibly praise Dr. Rotramel enough or speaking too highly of her.


Jul 13, 2024

IT WAS AMAZING , team took great care of me. I really appreciate them


Jul 02, 2024

I've never seen a more sensitive and thorough doctor like her. She took all the time needed and made me feel safe and comfortable.


Jun 26, 2024

Dr. Rotramel is one of the best. I feel very lucky she is one of my providers.


Jun 25, 2024

Considering the awkward reason for my visit, everyone was friendly but business like and I never felt uncomfortable once.


Jun 19, 2024

Finally got in to see Dr.Butler after 5 wks after referral from my primary care doctor.Appreciate his examination of my condition & his recommendation to solve condition.Wish I would have received more info on my visit on MyHealth portal from Dr.Butler.Other than that,it was good.


Jun 15, 2024

Dr Rotramel always gives me the time I need, without rushing. I totally trust her decisions for my health.


Jun 11, 2024

Excellent Doctor, very good communicator


Jun 09, 2024

Dr. Frankhouse is one of the kindest Doctors I've met. He had an excellent bedside manner, and was able to explain the sensitive problem I'm experiencing in a way that made me 100% comfortable. It did take some waiting time to be able to get the appointment. I was grateful that he opened up an extra day to see patients. I don't know what is considered a "typical " amount of time. Dr. F's medical assistant was very helpful as well.


Jun 08, 2024

Great doctor!


Jun 06, 2024

PT was hard, but the provider was understanding and helped give me info about other referrals that had gotten lost in the mix.


Jun 06, 2024

Doctor Frankhouse was wonderful. I'd strongly prefer to see him in the future for related health issues.


May 30, 2024

Dr Butler had studied my records and was not only familiar with them but very helpful in assisting my concerns and suggesting treatment options. I was impressed with his knowledge, helpfulness, and professionalism


May 24, 2024

I have always had a good experience with Doctor Rotramel and consider her a caring and compassionate physician. She has treated me for (ten years?) and has always given me excellent care. I have never had a complaint with her or her care.


May 22, 2024

Dr. Rotramel was superb. In a warm and engaging way, she questioned me thoroughly. She talked to me reassuringly during the exam and was even able to dispel my fears. I left the office feeling that whatever the diagnosis after testing, the condition can be treated, and I have confidence that with Dr. Rotramel I am in the most capable hands. I would prefer her to any other doctor. I appreciated the length of the appointment as well as the thoroughness.


Apr 02, 2024

This office staff and doctor were phenomenal.


Mar 26, 2024

Dr Frankhouse and team are fantastic.


Mar 26, 2024

Dr. Rotramel is a rock star.


Mar 24, 2024

It was a great visit. They ordered a CT scan and the reason no one contacted me to discus the results is because the scan hasn't happened yet.


Mar 22, 2024

I appreciate the level of care I receive fromDr. Frankhouse. He is extremely busy but he always answers my questions and I feel he truly cares about getting me healthy again and ba k to normal. I am fortunate to have him as my surgeon.


Mar 21, 2024

Dr Butler gave me a very clear action list with clear reasons for it. He told me about the best and worst case scenarios. I don't see how he could have done a better job.


Mar 20, 2024

My visit with Dr. Rotramel was a very positive experience. She is obviously extremely knowledgeable, but is also able to connect with patients on their level in a very clear and respectful manner. She is engaging and a great listener- she also has a good sense of humor, which definitely helps in this specialty! I would highly recommend her to others.

Everyone was nice and respectful.


Feb 07, 2024

Dr. Frankhouse was very approachable, easy to talk to, addressed all questions and concerns as they came up, asked appropriate questions of me and my husband and daughter. Was genuinely concerned about my current health issues, expressed concern for my immediate family, and made sure to explain what he was thinking and willingness to help me. He's extremely knowledgeable, and understands my current medical condition. I will definitely refer any family or friends to him, without hesitation. We left the office feeling confident that he will take excellent care of me and I have zero doubts his ability to make me whole again.


Feb 04, 2024
