Bio
What are some of the specific conditions you treat?
I see patients for a wide range of medical conditions. Acute examples are infections, abdominal complaints, and musculoskeletal injuries. Chronic medical conditions include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, depression, osteoporosis, dementia, and more. Meanwhile, my passion is lipid management. I am a certified clinical lipidologist and am available for consultation on hard-to-treat cholesterol and triglyceride disorders.
What techniques or procedures do you use in your practice?
I use advanced lipid testing to better characterize risk and help identify the best therapeutic approaches for hard-to-treat cases.
What would you like patients to know about your approach to care?
In addition to general internal medicine, I am a board-certified clinical lipidologist. I work with patients with poorly controlled triglycerides and cholesterol on achieving goal numbers, and preventing complications associated with bad cholesterol, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and pancreatitis. Patients can reach out to me with any questions about their care and count on getting a response that day. I pride myself on not leaving the office until all matters are settled.

[...] Everything "professionally" went very well. Some of his questions made me thoughtful of my current conduct (exercise). This was a good and worthwhile session.

Dr Frauwirth has always been a wonderful care provider. He speaks frankly but kindly. Will explain anything I don't understand in easy layman's language when necessary. I've seen many "primary care" doctors over my lifetime, but none as friendly and helpful as Dr. Frauwirth.

Great doctor. [...]

I have always found Doctor Frauwirth to be very precise about my medical issues. He reads files and reports and charts very carefully before he starts his analysis of my case. I have noticed that many physicians appear to ignore background information. Dr. Frauwirth does not make decisions without adequate supporting data. For example, in this appointment, he needed some more test results to get a full understanding of the case. So he told me to get the test done and we would talk on the phone after he received the results and felt able to make a detailed plan for future care. He doesn't hesitate to make phone calls! I would recommend him, and have done, to any of my friends.

Dr. Frauwirth and his team are simply the best. They care about my health. I don't understand why in the new system you need to schedule a physical a year out. That's insane if I am referring new patients
