Meet Dr. Gail Boriel

Dear SMA Patient, 

 I hope you are well as we enter the holiday season and enjoying some time to recharge and restore. I am writing - and thrilled - to introduce you to Dr. Gail Boriel joining our team as of Monday, December 2nd. She will be working alongside me in support of our mission of personal and prompt medical care.

A board-certified internal medicine physician, with over 10 years of experience – including with the Executive Health Program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN - she is uniquely suited to partner with me in your care.  She has a practice philosophy anchored in patient-centeredness, achieved through compassion and empathy. This, blended with expertise in managing complex and chronic medical conditions with an evidence-based approach, and preventive and lifestyle medicine, makes her an incredible addition. She will be supporting your care by expediting follow up of phone calls, MyChart messages, urgent care needs (available via TeleHealth, and of course, if in person appointment is required, you will be scheduled to SMA on-site), along with prescription refills. To ensure continuity – as a cornerstone of effective primary care – we will be in consistent contact to best consider your needs.

Of course, I remain your primary care physician, but as you will see in her personal introduction below, Dr. Gail Boriel’s partnership with me will be a tremendous asset in your health journey. Until next time, I wish you health and wellness, and a joyful rest of 2024.

Warmly, 

Dr. Milah Frownfelter, MD, FACP
