I recently was treated at the Dickinson County Memorial Hospital Emergency Department by Dr. John Hallfrisch. My wife and I were happy he was working that day because he has taken care of me in the past and we have found him to be a thoughtful, caring professional and very thorough.

When I told him that I was glad he was on duty that morning, he mentioned that in May he would no longer be an ED doctor for Dickinson County Healthcare System because of staffing changes.

We have always been given excellent care at DCHS and are thankful that we have such a good facility in our community. However, we are very disappointed to see a highly experienced doctor leave the DCHS Emergency Department.
