K.B.
I use to see Dr. Frede. I dont like the things that I have heard about that practice of Patterson's so I picked Dr.McNeely and he seemed very nice. Dr.Billing wasnt seeing new patients, neither Batie who would have been my first choice. The physcians& surgeons for women of Springfield(name is something like that) I think are great . The only problem with that is when you are pregant you see all the doctors is what I have heard. It has been several years since I have heard that so it could have changed. Did you check to see if she went some where else locally? I know Frede left town, but I thought she joined another practice. I would call the birthing center to check on that if you havent already, maybe they know.
Good Luck!
