I have known Dr Fralich for many years. I was in a great deal of pain at my most recent visit, and she was very patient and understanding. I am so glad my children will have the opportunity to see her, if the need ever arises, now that they’ve entered into sports.

Lexis Jeanie

I have known Dr.Fralich since she was a Family Medicine resident. To see her go on and become the amazing sports medicine physician that she is has been wonderful. She is one of the most caring, bright, driven and intelligent individuals I have had the pleasure of knowing in medicine. When I was having trouble with my leg while training for my upcoming marathon, I knew she was the doctor who could help me. She made the correct diagnosis quickly and had me back to 100% far sooner than I had thought possible. I am happy to report I have been running with no pain and just completed my 10th marathon. I highly recommend Dr.Fralich, she’s a true gem in the Inland NW medical community.

Dr. Fralich is very professional, has a lot of compassion for her patients, and helped me get to physical therapy where I am doing very well. As a cardiac nurse of 30 years, I have worked with many physicians and Dr. Fralich is top of the line.

Fabulous doctor! Dr. Fralich has been my orthopedist for over three years. She had been w Providence but recently opened her own private practice. Here is what you will like about her:
She is intelligent and articulate. She listens to you and explains your condition and options well. Eye contact and listening are two things you will notice. She is open to taking the time to answer your questions and discuss therapy options. Her depth of care for her patients shows.
She has an excellent network of other doctors and physical therapists that she works with and is well know and well regarded in the Inland Northwest.
Her staff is attentive and kind. You will not feel rushed but you will feel that your time is important.
Her office is easy to reach with free parking.
I now live on the Westside and will drive over to be treated by her. Smart, smart doctor.
