Frederick P Fruhling, DDS

Dr. Fruhling has been my dentist for over 10 years and I’m always grateful to him for being such an outstanding dentist as well as an amazingly concerned care giver who always goes the extra mile when I have a dental emergency.

Great, friendly dentist! I just got 2 teeth pulled by Dr. Fruhling and it couldn’t have been easier. It was super easy to get the appointment time I wanted and he was able to get it done in less than an hour. He was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable the whole time. He even called my house that night to make sure I was feeling ok. Overall I loved the family atmosphere and the friendly staff. I will continue to go to Dr. Fruhling for an over all easy dental experience :)

Great family dental office!!! From the front office people to the hygienists to the Dr. Fruhling this office is the best. They are always friendly and Dr. Fruhling does great work and is very conscientious about your comfort level and the quality of his work. Our entire family goes to him for all out dental needs.

I love this office and everyone here. I have been coming here the past 4.5 years, ever since I moved to the area. I have since moved to mid-​City but I still make the drive to the South Bay because I can’t imagine going elsewhere. Best dentist ever!

I recently broke my back tooth eating my favorite Chinese chicken salad. It was very sensitive to cold so I was in a panic to get my tooth fixed quickly. Plus my work schedule was out of control that week. Dr. Fruhling’s office was amazing. They worked me into the schedule that day. Dr Fruhling told me I would need a crown. This would be my second crown to fix the tooth. The first crown was done at another office years ago, and took three office visits to complete. I was so happy when Dr. Fruhling told me he could do every thing that day. They have this high tech machine that makes it right there. In fact I got to watch while it was benign made. Oh and no more impressions, Juan the Dental Assistant use this wand that took pictures of my tooth instead. The whole visit only took one hour and 30 minutes. The technology Dr. Fruhling uses makes your appointment faster and more comfortable.
I highly recommend this office. The staff are caring and friendly. I love my new crown.

Dr. Rick is one of the best dental care professionals that I have ever met. He is genuinely caring and has a love for the people that work for him and his patients. He has a passion for helping people and it shows in everything he does. From a simple filling to managing a dental implant and crown, he is very vested in making sure you get the best result possible. He makes sure that you don’t suffer in the chair and are as comfortable as you can be. I have sent family and friends to see him and will continue to do so.

The only reason why I am giving Dr. Fruhling’s office two stars is because I really liked Dr. Fruhling and his hygienist. This office just needs more organization and honesty when it comes to letting people know whether their insurance is in-​network or not. I went to the office to have a routine cleaning done. When I made my appointment, I asked if they accepted my insurance and I was told, «yes».
A month later, I get a bill in the mail for $ 100. I called the office to inquire about the bill just thinking it was a mistake, and Karen (the person who answered the phone) stated that «their office is not in network with any type of insurance». I asked why I was not informed of this before I had anything done and her reply was, «Well, we don’t tell anyone that we are not in network. It is your responsibility to know if we are in network». Here is my problem with her response; If you know you are not in network with ANY type of insurance, shouldn’t you let the patients know, especially when patients ask if your office accepts their insurance? Not everyone knows how to ask specific questions like, «are you in or out of network?» A better reply would be, «We can bill your insurance, but we are not in network with any type of insurance, so please know that you may incur some cost.» Let the patients make the call instead of springing a bill on them later!
What a shame. In all of the years I have gone to the dentist for a simple cleaning, I have never had to pay out-​of-​pocket for any part of a simple cleaning. Obviously, since they make it a point to not tell anyone they aren’t in network with ANY type of insurance, I am letting viewers know to be prepared to pay out-​of-​pocket for some of the cost.

Greatest dentists ever! I happily see either Dr. Rick or Dr. Bishoff.
Our whole family have been patients for years. Entire staff is so friendly that we feel like family.
Husband (a total dental phobe) recently had to have a tooth removed and Dr. Bishoff was so sweet and let me tell you, he needed some major hand-​holding! She even called to check on him several times.
I highly recommend both Dr. Rick and Dr. Bishoff.

Overall: Friendly staff, accommodating, state of the art, SKILLED DENTISTRY!
I’ve been a patient at Dr. Fruhling’s office for as long as he’s had his own practice and I would not consider going anywhere else. Not only is the staff friendly, accommodating, and professional — they are good at what they do!
I mostly go for cleaning and minor issues (I credit Dr. Fruhling & staff for preventing any major issues), but even on cleanings they are thorough and detail oriented. These are exactly the characteristics I want in my dentist. You leave feeling taken care and anxiety-​free.

This is THE BEST dentist I have ever been to. Their topical numbing technique was so good that I did not even feel the shots that came after. The prices were so good, I had no trouble paying them that same day and received 10% off for doing so and another $ 20 off for NOT having dental insurance!
For someone who is deathly afraid of the dentist office, I can now say that I am looking forward to going back and getting things taken care of!

Can’t believe I am the first to review Dr. Fruhling.
Best Dentist in the world.
Been seeing him 20 years since I moved to L.A.
A master of his profession, warm, caring, competitive and fair pricing, amazing his staff are all equally warm and caring and professional. I drive an hour each way (they are my teeth, after all) and I send many friends to him who usually call me soon as they leave his office to say it was their best dentist experience ever.
Once you see him, he will be your dentist for life, he’s just that good.
