Ratings and reviews
Overall rating

As always Dr. Fruhbauer was professional, listened to me talked about my health and suggested how to keep me in the best health. She is exactly what I want and need in my dr.
I am completely satisfied with advocate, Dr. Fruhbauer, and her staff. I love the portal in order to get in touch with the dr. I get test results and feedback quickly.
Good, kind, understood.
very good.
The staff is efficient and pleasant. The doctor is thorough, knowledgeable, inquisitive, specific. She is serious.
It was good - we talked about what I was doing/eating. Dr. Fruhbauer is very serious and down to business. I felt that she was thorough and would have liked to connect more on a personal level.
Your phone system is terrible. Long wait. I got disconnected twice when I was trying to get additional bloodwork. One time I talked to a person and was disconnected. The other time I went into limbo. Worst phone system of any organization I have called.
I am very happy with the care received from this provider. Always caring and considerate!
Margaret is very knowledgeable but not always willing to ask my goals, my needs - More what we all know is right and good - i.e., eat omega 3s, exercise, plants to eat etc.
Always feel comfortable and that she cares about her patients - Nurses are great too.
I had a very good visit. The whole experience was very comfortable given what is going on.
I am very fortunate to have Dr. Fruhbauer as my doctor.
Dr. Fruhbauer was helpful, courteous, and took my opinions seriously. I felt informed after my visit and have a better understanding about my health goals.
Dr. Fruhbauer was/is the first medical professional to validate my opinions/wishes for my body when it came to my reproductive system. She is the first person that did not continue to give unnecessary "advice" when I said "no thank you, I do not wish to be pregnant, ever." Thank you Dr. F.!
Nice and comfortable visit.
I'm very thank you for all Condell Hospital staff. People from ER ICU 4 West God bless all.
They are so good. They take care me with compassion. Also Housekeeping Dept. Thank you all.
is one of the best that I've ever had she is patient and understanding and always there when I need her
I've never had a bad experience which in this day and age means I have an outstanding doctor
I found it encouraging. she is VERY thorough and clear with communication
the televisits are very convenient
Pleased with results during this trying time
excellent
She is very thorough in her scope of questioning.
Doctor was very pleasant in speaking to me/us to ascertain my health issues and the medications to be used etc. GOOD EXPERIENCE.
Dr Margaret H. Fruhbauer my provider, appears to have very good professional expertise and experience in dealing with and treating health issues. Precisely to say she knows her work and job.
Dr. Fruhbauer is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I always feel that I get the utmost attention from her at each visit.
She told me I had to take a pill for my heart. Nothing else not why or anything. It bothered me after I left.
Very impressed with Dr. Fruhbauer. This was my initial visit with her as my doctor. I found her by searching the Advocate Aurora website, looking for someone who believes in preventive, integrative medicine.
The reason I had to wait for an appointment was that I wanted after school hours since I am a teacher. I appreciate the possibility of late hours.
Very good experience!
Very thorough review of my health.
Provider is definitely concerned about my overall health. Can't ask for anything more than that.
The Patient Care Tech that was assigned to me was extremely rude, so much so that I'm contemplating changing Physicians. I can't imagine that I'm the only one she has treated disrespectfully. When the office called me the following day with my blood work results, I voiced my concerns and my experience with the PCT. I was told that someone would contact me regarding my complaint, however to date no one has called me back.
Always so professional! Anticipates needs and very knowledgeable.
SHE IS ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL AND ANSWERS ALL MY QUESTIONS.
AN EXCELLENT AND CARING DOCTOR.
very thing was good
Not warm. Very mechanical. Now I understand her questions based on this survey....she asked questions based on the survey. Not sure I will be back.
I like her, I think she is thorough and I feel comfortable with her.
I find my physician very easy to talk with and get answers to my questions
Very good
Dr. Fruehbauer is very thorough and interested in my health.
Always a good experience.
Provider is very thorough, and very intense, bordering on cold. I have been seeing her for maybe 2 years, and I think she is an excellent doctor and I have no issue with her "bedside manner." However, this last time she seemed more intense than usual, even angry. I wondered whether she had a dire situation in her personal life that colored her responses.
when ever I come to the doctor I'am very pleased.
It's good all the time I really like my doctor.
As always she was very thorough
Good
Have known my doctor for a number of years now. My health is overall pretty good, though I know I frustrate my doctor because my eating and exercising habits are poor.
Can tell patience is being tested by my doctor. Came this last time due to a scare of work-related injury. Would have liked to feel more cared for.
Dr. Fruhbauer is the best doctor I have ever had. She cares for her patients, is professional and a pleasure to work with.
Dr. Fruhbauer is an excellent and very efficient doctor.
Dr. Fruebaer is an excellent listener. She is very caring.
I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Fruhbauer. She was very thorough. She made her expectations of me very clear, but also asked my permission with her plan to get my blood sugar and blood pressure under better control.
I felt that we covered a lot of ground in one visit and that it was a very good experience. it gave me a lot to think about. Dr. Fruhbauer seemed very knowledgeable about diabetes.
I don't feel she listened to me, talking at me rather than with me.
I will continue to go to this doctor because I don't want the hassle of looking for a new one and sometimes she listens better than she did on this last visit.
Very business like. Feel like just a number.
Felt like I did not get good information or help in the area of nutrition that I was looking for.
she is very thorough and smart
great experience
I highly respect Dr. Fruhbauer, she was willing to check the Rx I was taking and change some that are working better for me. She is interested and my health is improving since I have been seeing her and doing what she asks of me as far as getting needed injections and other tests. I believe Dr. Fruhbauer is the best Dr. I have ever had.
great experience...
outstanding provider
excellent experience, but long wait to get an appointment
As always, the experience was easy, pleasant and enjoyable
This doctor is Always very thorough. She touches base on everything you asked questions about. Very satisfied with my primary doctor!!
Dr. Fruhbauer is a fantastic Dr. She explains health goals, anything about prescriptions, always goes over the results of any tests she had requested. and works with me to achieve my best health. I recommend her to anyone looking for a Dr.
Not only is my Dr. excellent, her assistants X and X are wonderful. As a team, they work well together. I also utilize the Advocate portal to communicate to the Dr., read lab and test results, and check my bills. Advocate group is a wonderful, extremely system for a patient to use and get responses quickly.
All good!
Dr. Fruhbauer was warm and professional as always. Glad to have a doctor like her.
The last visit was good, however I needed a check up only.
Was nice to have blood testing and flu shot performed at the same location. Medical records from Dr. X were not all transferred despite my specific request. However, most of the important info was transferred. Received blood test results the next day including a call from the nurse who did a good job. Dr. Fruhbauer seemed competent enough but has a robotic delivery and no personality. However, she gave me some good advise and was very professional.
I contacted the office after hours via portal in past 3 months ( question was did I call and I didn't call, but messaged via portal). dr. responded quickly
it was my first visitwith her anditwentwell

My experience was very positive. Dr. Fruhbauer is very thorough in discussing my health issues.

Good counsel on excercise n diet. too many changes on BP meds, 3 in 9 months but ok. BP still too high.I am fortunate to have Doctor Fruhbauer as my primary doctor!
This was my first time w/Dr. Fruhbauer and I was impressed. She made sure to review my records and was very competent. She spent enough time with me.
Very good!
Dr. Fruhbauer is always very thorough.

Very good, thank you for receiving people that don't speak much English. Thank you.
this was the first visit, overall a good experience. The Dr. made me feel comfortable.
Dr Fruhbauer and her clinical staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel like they hold themselves to a high standard.
receptionists are great, Dr is good, the nurses that work wit her not so much
Dr. Fruhbauer could not have been more helpful. She really displayed a wide range of medical expertise, and she did such a thorough, amazing job with my visit.
