Frederick W Dieterich, MD

I love Dr. Dietrich, one of the best Drs I have ever encountered. However after years of being with him I was billed for $ 15. i thought it was for my copayment which I had paid at the time of service. Usually the staff is awesome, new girl couldn’t tell me what it was for. I ended up calling and paying over the phone. To my surprise I received a discharge letter. Then the following week I received a collection letter. They had me talk to Kelly his wife. Worst experience of my life. I was shocked to hear how rude an unprofessional she was. When trying to explain to her she had such attitude saying yup I highly doubt that. I though to myself how can such an amazing Dr, so genuine and knowledgeable be represented in this form. I figured he has no idea, what happens with the billing and so forth. However to discharge a patient for $ 15, really? Yes, maybe I should have called sooner, however it doesn’t give anyone the right to be rude or contradict what you are saying. I am just dissappointed and wish Dr. Dietrich the best.

I love Dr D. He is one of my favorites. He was the only doc that kept trying to figure out what my health issue was. He is a real person that treats you as an equal. His office staff is super helpful. I like that you can be seen the same day if needed!

Worst Doctor experience of my life! I found dr. Dietrich to be highly insensitive and very unprofessional. I was actually quite alarmed by his demeanor and at his disregard for my concerns.
He did a blood test while I was hospitalized and came back to tell me that even though it was negative, he was sure that I had an incurable medical condition. The whole time he’s telling me this, he’s joking and laughing and telling me stories. Not funny Doctor! Not funny at all!
After being hospitalized I went to a real expert and had more extensive testing which resulted in negative results. I did not have what Dr. Dietrich diagnosed me with. Unbelievable quackery. Not recommended! Extremely disappointing.

Not sure why any negatives. Met Dr. Dietrich a couple months ago– my first visit. Office staff was very friendly. Doctor saw me within 15 minutes and spent almost an hour with me! Today I called to make an appointment to discuss some issues, receptionist said write your questions down and he will call you. He called this evening!!! I feel confident that he has my best interests. If he leaves people waiting– duh– he delivers babies!!! They don’t schedule their arrival. I am so happy to find someone I really trust!

Update:
For my second pregnancy, I went to Dr. Dieterich again. I was expecting twins, and everyone told me to go to a high risk OBGYN. However, I trusted my gut and I knew Dr. D would do an excellent job. Because one of my twins was breech, I needed a C-​section, which I was so nervous about.
Turns out, Dr. D is an incredibly skilled surgeon. Even the nurses at St. Jude say he is the best. My C-​section went smoothly, and I delivered my twins at 39 weeks weighing 5lb 10 oz and 6 lb 1 oz.
Thanks Dr. D!!!

I owe the life of my beautiful daughter to Dr. Diederich. He caught early signs of what turned into a very high risk pregnancy. His long time staff is friendly and efficient. I have referred many patients to him over the years. It is rare to find a Dr. With his level of knowledge that cares so much about his patients to also take the time to explain the options and concerns he may have with his patients.
There is no other OB I would trust with my health. Bottom line he makes a not so fun annual visit much more pleasant.

Dr. D is wonderful. He knows how to put a first-​time mom at ease. What I do truly appreciated about him, was his respect for my birth choices. However, the way his office is run could be better. the staff never follows up with schedules, appointments, or procedures. There is ZERO communication. Surely in 2015 they could use some program to have an automated caller or even a text.

Dr. Dieterich has been a great doctor for me during the last 18 years. He and his staff have always been there for me and my two daughters (one of which he delivered). I hope he never retires!

I’ve recommended 4 women to him and they all love him. He has the best bed side manner and really takes his time with you once your in the room with him. The staff is great! People treat you how you treat them, so I invest in to their lives and they ask about mine and care about how I and my family are doing. If there’s even a question about something not feeling right with my pregnancies they have me come in that day and make sure I get seen. The wait to get in is fine with me! Heck it allows for my husband who’s often stuck in traffic to be able to join my impromptu visits. I’m on my 3 baby with this OB and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He delivered my first baby, vaginally, without complications even though my little guy had the cord wrapped about his neck twice! Your not going to get a doctor more knowledgeable then him. No uI questions go unanswered and feel dumb. He’s your advocate in the hospital and doesn’t give a darn about hurting the staffs feelings if he sees your being mistreated or not heard by the staff. To the women who can’t get a hold of him ASAP have a little grace, he’s a human being, husband with 4 kids. There’s always a dr. on call and if you have anything pressing in your blood-​work somebody will call, believe me– I’ve been on both sides (nothing to worry about no call and a call for the Dr. himself saying come in ASAP).

I tried… really I did. After the first visit a year ago, I said I would not go back. I did not even get my pap results for over a year via the mail. I had called a month or so after my visit to ask for them. Happily came back normal. but nearly a year later, I received the post card stating my results were normal. Ok, let slide. Requested a diff. OB from my family practicioner. So time came again for my annual… I felt to give a fair evaluation, I would go one more time. (Heck, they have a good Unilocal rating) now I see why, one of there own staff left a 5 star review, explaining why others may be complaining… duh, they are human. That alone does not bode well. But, I digress, I sched. my appoint. It was cancelled hours before I was to be there due to an emergency with the doc. Very understandable, they resched. me for the next day, then later that day I got another call to change the time again… I agreed. Day of appoint. arrived on time. Can’t complain to much about the sign in staff… they did not have much to say. As I was waiting, I was surprised to see how many advertisements for Botox and other pamphlets on how to make your self look better. I did not know they share an office with a Botox staff… start looking around at the women coming and going… ALL a lil over done… (just stating my opin) I have no issues with Botox or other injections, just found it to be in my face and uncomfortable for this type of office. I also realized that this is not a place I would want my Botox done… not impressed with the looks of ladies work when they came in. Even sitting on the loo and the table in exam room are flyers for the Botox and the specials they have right in front of me. It took 45 min. before the doc came in… Nice enough, just so fast and some equip. dirty. Odd Question from him was «do you work for the school dist?» f, umm. no and then what he said next was odd «then I wont have any disdain for you» wait… what? then in less then five min. breast check, abdom. check and pap done. and he was gone. No questions regarding my periods. ie: are they normal, when was your last one, or even any questions regard menopause (im 50) or any concerns… not one. He did thank me for being flexible and allowing my appointment to be moved.

Dr. Dieterich himself is a very nice doctor, but his staff is terrible. I was 12 weeks pregnant and was having headaches. I called the office and they prescribed me tylenol with codeine. It made me sick all night, the next day I called back to see if I could come in and they told me I couldn’t see the doctor and had to go to by general practitioner because my symptoms were unrelated to the baby. I insisted to come in and they instead prescribed me a new prescription without seeing me. Dr. D get a new staff!

I have been seeing Dr D for 20+ years and would HIGHLY recommend him! If not for him I would not have my «one and only» (now 20 years old). I have always found his office staff professional and understanding. Some might have better personalities than others but you will find that in most any medical office! Being in the medical field I have never heard anything but good things about Dr D from his colleagues!

One star is too high of a rating for this office.
If you have a 11am appointment don’t expect to be called in to the examining room until 12pm, then plan on waiting another 30 minutes in the examining room before Dr. Dietrich actually shows up.
The front office staff is are not personable; they don’t show compassion or a sense of urgency. They do not follow through with commitments (i.e. returning a phone call or calling with test results at the date/​time promised).
I contacted Dr. Dietrich with my concerns regarding his front office staff, their lack of compassion and a complaint about their service but to my surprise Dr. Dietrich supported his staff’s poor habits and shared the same cavalier attitude.
After being Dr. Dietrich’s patient for 6 years I am now in the market for a new OB/​GYN. Thank goodness the new PL Women’s Center just opened right across the street from his office.

I have been going to Dr. D for over 20 years. He delivered all 4 of my children. He performed an emergency surgery on me. He and his staff are amazing! Couldn’t imagine seeing anyone else. He has a great sense of humor and bedside manor. His staff are wonderful. They always recognize me (even over the phone) and always squeeze me in if need be. I absolutely love Dr. D and his staff!

The dr was very nice, but the staff sucked. I went in for an ultrasound and my first appt at 6 weeks, the dr said the ska looked very healthy and it was too early to see anything else, but I began to miscarry the very next day. Three months later I got pregnant again. The dr suggested I come in right when i find out to have my progesterone levels checked bc that might be the reason I had a previous miscarriage. I went in for a blood test twice and the nurse called me and said my levels are borderline and «I can take the progesterone pills if I want to… it’s my choice» ummm… I don’t have a medical license and that’s why the dr gets paid… what should I do? I ended up taking the pills. At about 10 weeks into my pregnancy I got some sort of stomach bug and the nurses wouldn’t let me speak to the dr bc it was a Friday and he wasn’t in and they didn’t want to bother him… really?! I flipped out on her. She ended up calling me back a few hours later and prescribed herpes meda. I was very skeptical so I called my primary dr and she said DO NOT TAKE THOSE. Needless to say that was that with that drs. I switches to different ob and have had 2 beautiful, healthy babies since (this review is 2 years overdue)…bottom line is I’m not sure what kind of dr he really is, but the staff sucks and that makes the whole office suck.

I would not recommend this office. Dr. Dietrich was nice enough and made me feel comfortable however his staff is highly unprofessional and unhelpful.

I have had 3 of my 4 children with Dr Dietrich, he is a wonderful doctor, and his office staff is amazing. He has a great bedside manner, and I can say I truly trust him when it comes to my health.

I don’t know how good he is because I never saw him. I arrived 5 mins before my appt and after waiting an hour I had to get back to work. Great customer service Ha

Dr. Dieterich is AMAZING!!! Words really can’t describe how awesome him and his staff are! He was so helpful during my OB visits and would answer questions I had. He was also amazing when I was giving birth to my son. Since my husband was deployed when I went into labor, my best friend was recording the whole thing so I could later show him. One of the nurses told my best friend that filming wasn’t allowed and Dr. Dieterich corrected the nurse real quick and allowed my best friend to continue filming. It meant so much to my husband and I. He was in tears watching the video when he returned home. If you need an Ob/​gyn definitely pick Dr. Dieterich!

I love Dr. Dieterich and his staff. Dr. Dieterich is very thorough and spends plenty of time talking with you when you have questions or concerns. He is also a great surgeon. He performed one surgery on me as well as delivered my son via c-​section. I highly recommend seeing him for any of your OBGYN needs.
