Dr. Frederick A Church, DO

First time and last time visit. I was judged from the get go made out to be a liar and left feeling like a junkie. I have been on the same prescription for 5 years never took more only took less so not much of an abuse case there. Even after finding out I was in fact telling the truth I never got an apology instead I got rehab information! This guy should not be practicing medicine. I was told to go pretty much go cold turkey on a drug that requires a slow taper, and then he prescribed me an SSNI which in conjunction with the side effects of not having the other prescription could cause serious issues. Very smug attitude just makes you feel uncomfortable. A very bad experience. Pass on this one unless you like to feel worse than you did before your doctors visit...

he listens to me, is professional, and a great diagnostician ... all with kind compassion.

Very frustrated with my dealing with Dr. Church. He jumps to conclusions on what he thinks is going on, and didn't seem to listen to me. I was diagnosed twice by other Drs with Bell's Palsy, thus being put on a steroid and antibiotic treatment. Dr Church was trying to follow a possible diabetic diagnosis, and sending me twice to get blood drawn to check blood sugar levels. I have come to learn from RNs, (one of them being his nurse) that you can not get a clear A1C reading for blood sugars until you are at least 3 months off of Prednisone. So I have WASTED $356 of my savings to get false readings. As my Dr. I would expect him to know this. Called to cancel another upcoming blood test, because I am back on Prednisone because another outbreak of Bell's, and get a call from his office to come in to be diagnosed. Ummmm, already did that 1 1/2 weeks ago, did you not read my file. So much more I could write, but to much detail. Anyway I would highly advise anyone, to go somewhere else!!!

Dr Church as always taken the time to hear and answer all questions. He uses other recourses to refer to specialized doctors when needed. Dr. Church greets me with a smile and total focus on each question I bring and brings knowledge to annual physcial changes or findings and makes suggestions for corrections in my health and wellness.

Dr Church provided exceptional service! Thanks

Dr. Church has always been great, but the whole appointment experience has improved dramatically over the past couple of years. Very friendly and efficient on the phone and in the office. Highly recommended

Dr Church and his team are a great group!

Dr. Church is the best primary care doctor I've ever had, bar none. He has always listened well, and he suggests different treatment options when they apply. Aside from that, he's also just a really nice guy.

The staff at College Park are kind, patient, caring and professional. I would not think of going elsewhere. Two minutes with Dr. Church and you will realize why.

I've been a patient of Dr. Church for 16 years - he spends the time necessary to diagnose & treat you, and makes a plan for treatment. He really is a fantastic Doctor!

I have been a patient of Dr Church for about 15 years. He is very much into prevention and support. I feel fortunate to have him manage my healthcare and would highly recommend him to anyone!

I am so thankful to have a Christian Doctor that heals body mind and spirit

We've been patients of Dr. Church for more than 10 years and have always been able to make appointments quickly and receive prompt attention when visiting the office. Dr. Church always makes sure to educate me and my kids about what is happening and why, what at-home treatment is required, what follow-up is necessary, and then asks if there are any questions. He and his nurses are very friendly and we never feel rushed. Highly recommend this knowledgeable and attentive physician!

Just received an invoice from Quest Diagnostics for $807.52 for the lab blood workup Dr. Church ordered. Medicare will not pay for this nor my Blue Cross Blue Shield. I am not paying that amount...appealing. Should have been informed by Dr. Church that my insurance would NOT pay for the lab workup. I'm also sure he could have coded it differently to help. Of all the doctors & procedures I have had over the last few years and never had to pay anything...Dr. Church seems to be the "one doctor" that charges $$$ so my insurance won't cover his services!!

Dr. Church on my first visit examined me a suggested that I see a cardiologist because of a number of small problems. I hadn't had any heart problems but went to the cardiologist. I had a bypass surgery a few days later. Dr. Church is a preventive medicine believer. He has been my healthcare provider for 7 years and I recommend him very highly.

I only go to the Doctor when I have to but I do not appreciate being told 2 times that there will be a 50.00 charge if I do not show up. I wast told that when I made my appointment and again when I received the call to remind me of my appointment. I am newer even late for an appointment let alone miss one.I also think too much time is spent on doing things I do not ask for or have a complaint about. I just want to fix what is wrong and not do a bunch of tests because the test should be done at a certain age. If it is not my complaint do not force tests on me please.

This doctor has a habit of making a diagnosis based on assumptions. After he admits, under pressure, that this is what he did, he then says he can verify his assumption if he runs another expensive test. I wouldn't trust this doctor if he was the last one on the planet.

I went to Dr. Church because Dr. Rey was out. I had been having trouble with feeling really sleepy all the time. Rather than look at my history and recommend a change to my medication (which was the actual cause of my exhaustion) - He recommended a sleep study where they found nothing...but charged me $500.00 without informing me ahead of time. I think he must get a cut of this because he did the exact same thing to my husband.

He is a very caring and thorough doctor!!
