About Me
I believe that it’s important to remember that patients are individuals. We can be most successful if the patient and his or her physician work as a team, along with other staff and family members. We work together to understand the medical issues facing the patient and what options are available to help treat or control symptoms.
I’m a neuromuscular disease specialist. I became interested in these disorders during my training because I have a background in immunology. Many nerve and muscle diseases are caused by immune system dysfunction. In the past 25 years, we’ve made great strides in treating many immune-mediated muscle and nerve diseases.
The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center has evolved into one of the great tertiary (specialty) care centers in the United States. It’s exciting to be a part of this transformation and to know that it will continue to grow long after I retire from practicing medicine.

Excellent doctor
Dr is the best
Very understanding and came up with a plan for my illness and made sure I know more about my illness and was very quick with getting me in touch with the other specialist that I needed to see
Always great
Good
No bad experience.
Provider was good, very professional, very knowledgeable.
I really appreciate that the doctor is so tuned into me as a whole and always explains everything in depth.
There was a fellow present. I do not feel he communicated well, he didn't seem to understand the reason for my visit and he and Dr Freimer discussed my condition state as if I was not in the room. I left confused and felt as if I did not know what they had discussed in the hallway. What and why they were sending me for tests and no real idea what they were looking for from the testing. I have had the same disease for close to 20 years so I was not there for a diagnosis and am pretty well educated in my symptoms and disease management.
Knowledgeable kind and caring
Dr. Freimer is the best; that may be why it is difficult to get an appointment even months in advance. Once you see her, she is outstanding. It makes the waiting worthwhile.
Very professional.
Very easy to talk with. Made me feel comfortable.
She was amazing explaining every thing to me and was very caring. Thanks so much for everything she was great.
I have had Dr. Freimer for several years and never had a problem of her treatment toward me. Dr. Friemer is always respectful, attentive and caring.
All good - very interested in helping me & explaining.
Dr. Freimer is thorough & knowledgeable about my disease.
Dr Freimer provides excellent care and is always looking for ways to improve my health. She was the only doctor that initially helped me after my stay in the hospital for COVID. She made sure I had the best possible care and was there for me in my time of need. She will always hold a special place in my heart and forever grateful for helping me when I needed her the most.
Prompt and courteous.
She spent 90 minute with me. It was a top-notch way to build a relationship. Very focused & intelligent.
Dr. Freimer listened to what I had to say and worked with me to find solutions for my health issues. She always holds my opinions as important as her own. She always keeps me educated in new medications and options for my disease.
Dr. Freimer always listens to my concerns and doesn't rush me out the door. It's appreciated.
Drs. Freimer and Dr. Deardorff are absolutely the BEST!! I was in very poor health prior to seeing them.
The best. Very friendly. Did not feel rushed at all.
All good.
Dr. was engaged and thorough. She displayed a positive attitude while working to meet my needs.
I was very impressed with Dr. Freimer. She explained MG to my husband & I and spent a lot of time with us. She explained how she wanted me to start the fusion, Vyvgart, ASAP and her staff would get with me as soon as it was approved. She knows her stuff, although anything in practice for 30 yrs. for MG should know. LOL! Very impressed!
My provider answered my question that I asked her and gave me some - advice about my health issue.
On this particular visit, she was the best she had ever been with me - very thorough and gave me more time than I ever expected.
Always positive.
Dr. Freimer & Sarah are the "dynamic duo!" We feel so lucky to have them on our care team!
I feel confident in Dr Freimer's knowledge, expertise, and care.
All is very good.
Dr. Freimer is simply the BEST!
Excellent i appreciated the great doctors!!
