We are home to Dr. Mark Fruendt, DO who first went to chiropractic school then on to osteopathic school and finished UAB/Huntsville residency Board Certified in Family Medicine. In addition to being your primary care physician we plan to have other medical specialist, chiropractors, exercise physiologist and physiotherapist on the team. Let me introduce the first member of the Huntsville Primary and Integrative Care team. He is a BCBS PPO provider and accepts Medicare. Originally from Tulsa Oklahoma, he moved to Haleyville Alabama at a young age. He first attended Chiropractic College at Texas Chiropractic College graduating Cum Laude Honors. He then went on to get his Doctor of Osteopathy degree at Kansas City University of Medicine. He then completed his 3 year family medicine residency at UAB School of Medicine, Huntsville campus. He is a Board Certified Family Doctor. After 9 years in practice in Birmingham, Dr. Freundt decided to move his family and his practice to Huntsville, Alabama. And we are glad he did as Huntsville needs more primary care physicians. Dr. Fruendt likes to get to the root cause of problems not just treat the symptoms. He feels that too many doctors just treat symptoms and never fix the problem. Dr. Fruendt says, "Doctors prescribe too many medications and once on a medication they don't try to get the patient well and get them off the medications." Dr. Fruendt went on to say, "One of the other problems with medicine is that doctors don't listen, really listen to patients. I give you my promise, If I accept you as a patient I will listen to you and do my best to help you." As a primary care physician, Dr Fruendt is among the best. From heart disease, stroke and hypertension, to diabetes, cancer, asthma, and more family physicians provide ongoing, personal care for the nation's most serious health problems. Dr Fruendt also manages chronic illness, often coordinating care provided by other subspecialists. Since Dr. Fruendt was first trained as a chiropractor you get the best of both worlds. he can adjust you if necessary, He loves to treat back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, knee pain, hip pain, foot pain as well as shoulder pain and carpal tunnel. He has a team of exercise physiologist and kinesiologist to help with physical medicine problems.
