The Friesen Center - Dalton, Georgia

First of all. Dr. Friesen is a wonderful Physician. He is very knowledgeable and caring for his patients. His wife Renita is a very kind and compassionate lady who goes beyond the call of duty in her role. Pam is excellent in her job performance and is very knowledgeable and will make sure that you as the patient comes first. Their staff is very mature and is best that it has ever been. It’s the best thing you could do for yourself if you suffer from Depression

Dr Friesen, Renita and Pam are exceptionally professional and compassionate individuals. Dr Friesen is incredibly knowledgeable but most of all individualises treatment plans according to the needs of his patients. We came from Canada to meet with him and his team and we were greeted with the upmost respect, care and compassion. Without their care we would not have had the positive outcome me and my family are experiencing. Ketamine is truly a ground breaking treatment and paired with dr Friesen’s knowledge and his teams professionalism, it’s excellence never been experienced before. Thank you Dr. Friesen, Renita and Pam. We are forever grateful.

Dr. Friesen has had a profoundly positive impact on my health and well-being over the past year. After a serious medical issue 3 years ago, I struggled to regain my health physically and emotionally.

Dr. Friesen was instrumental in bring me back from the edge of failing health after my previous doctor’s were unable to drive any significant improvement in my recovery.

With multiple doctors (not talking to each other) involved in my treatment, and a medicine cabinet full of prescriptions, I needed one doctor to sit down with all my medical records to make sense of it all. Dr. Friesen was able to diagnose and treat me effectively…

For the body, he conducted genetic testing to identify some root causes to my condition and prescribed a few meds and supplements to get me back on track.

For the mind, I did Ketamine treatments which rebooted and refreshed me mentally.
I placed my treatment and recovery in his hands and I’m happy to report he delivered.

I fully endorse Dr. Friesen and his practice.

Upon entering The Friesen Center we were greeted with calm music that made this place seem so peaceful. As soon as we entered the Friesen Center we could feel the calmness and peace that resonated throughout this magical place. We were met each time at the door by Pam, Renita or Dr.Friesen and were made to feel very welcomed and at home. There is something different about this place. It allows you to feel whole again and helps bring the joy back into your life. My husband, my daughter and myself all received Ketamine treatments. My daughter is 13 and was made to feel so comfortable and safe while getting her treatment. Dr.Friesen and Renita explained everything to her and how she may feel and what to expect. They remained close throughout her small dose treatment and always made their presence known to her throughout her short treatment. I personally struggle with anxiety and depression and felt like nothing could ever help me get out of the hole I was in. When I started my treatments I was made to feel at ease and very comfortable. The atmosphere was always calm and comforting. Renita, Pam and Dr.Friesen have a special way of making you feel comfortable and always remained close by during our treatments. After our treatments we were able to discuss our experiences and share our journey. This has been nothing but a miracle in my eyes. Ketamine has changed me as a person and brought so much hope back into my life. During my treatments I was able to deal and go through stages of grief and let go of my mothers death which I have been holding onto for 16 plus years. No meds nor therapists have been able to help like ketamine and Dr.Friesen has. I was able to connect with memories that I needed to connect with and let go of the ones that I desperately needed to. Each and every time, Dr.Friesen and Renita were by my side and took the time to help me make sense of what I experienced. By the end of my treatments I felt at peace and like I was reborn, a feeling I have not felt in years. I feel like the walls I built were now down and like I could be the person I was always intended to be. This Center has brought joy, love and meaning back into not only my life but my familie's lives as well. Dr.Friesen is a man of great talent, experience and knowledge. I trust him with everything and highly recommend anyone to begin a journey to a better you with him and his amazing staff. Renita has a special way with all patients and is empathetic and patient. She has always lent us a shoulder to cry on and listened when we needed to talk. Her guidance and support brings you one step closer to peace and loving the person you are. Pam is a special nurse with such a big heart. She is simply amazing and always provides great care. This is a team of professionals that will help you rejuvenate your soul in an authentic and wholistic way, treatment I have yet to see in the medical field. We drove 17 hours as a family to receive treatments and I would and will do it again to regain the light, peace and love we need to feel whole again. When I think of words to describe this office and experience I think peace, love, joy, positive energy, wholistic, magical and a place of hope. Thank you for giving us the best gift anyone could ask for..... much love to Dr.Friesen and this amazing staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Friesen’s for 20 years. I know that he is a knowledgeable, professional and dedicated doctor. He expects his staff to also be professional and dedicated. The nonsense shared on here are words from staff that have not met his reasonable expectations.

I haven't been to Dr. Friesen since 2017 only because I moved away. I thought the staff was superior back then and the Doctor had a great way of making you feel at ease. I had dysport and laser fraxel done..I think that's what it was called. I experienced nothing but professionalism here and would have returned for future procedures had I not moved.

First off I will say the dysport and threads they do are very well done. I got the chance to volunteer work with this company and unfortunately can not recommend it.
Ketamine infusions here are $500 a pop unless you buy the package deal. There are places that are cheaper and offer tall therapy asking with it. You will not see the doctor after the initial consult because "he isn't there to cater to you". If you get an infusion anytime that may run into the 11-1 hours there will not be a doctor on site. The medical assistant that starts your IV (which as of now is Pam) will be the only one there during those hours. So if it is your first time I recommend doing an early appointment in case you have a bad reaction. They were leaving early in the afternoons as well so if you are worried there could be a problem or medical emergency go early. The MA will tell you he is there but he usually isn't which is odd because I didn't know medical assistants could start IVs without supervision but I guess I'm wrong because they would never do anything shady right? After all they are supposed to be professionals.
To the patients I had grown to love, I'm terribly sorry that you paid this year's membership fee without being told that the Chattanooga office was closing. I wish I could have told you but Renita said just to tell anyone that asked that we were opening a second location so it wouldn't make people panic. I feel like we should have told patients before they paid such a huge fee since some may not be able to travel to Dalton so to those that can't make that drive I'm sorry that you wasted that money.
To the patients that would get upset when I didn't always return your call I am sorry but I was just following the rules set for me. Patients are supposed to be a priority but if you were disliked or didn't have the money for a treatment then you were bumped to the bottom of my list per instructions from the owners. Also those that call asking to speak to the doctor or his wife let me save you the time... "The front desk and medical assistant are here to be a wall and buffer between the patients and us. We should not have to deal with them. You are here to protect us from annoying patients". So from the words of the owners you won't reach them unless you are a favorite.
To those who had and will have their veins stuck repeatedly by the MA because they had hard veins please forgive her Dr. Friesen yells at them if they ask him to help with an IV so don't get mad at them.
To the future employees welcome to the family where everyday feels like it will be the day you are fired because of the hateful backlash you will receive. Try to endure it as long as you can. Best advice for you is to keep your head down, your mouth shut about anything shady they ask you to do (such as forging scripts, which you will do even if you have no degree), always make sure you compliment both of them daily, treat them as if they are royalty, and do not screw up ever because these people are a one time deal. You have one chance to impress them but you mess up one time and consider yourself done.
After all I've seen and heard them say about patients I myself would not go there even for free.
