I thought he was a Fantastic Surgeon. He did my complete and total knee replacement. He listens and doesn’t insist on surgery first thing as do most other surgeons. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Dr. Frankel took good care of me. The surgery went well as did follow up care. He took the time to listen to me and what I wanted to return doing. All is looking good, and I’m only 1 month post-op.

Dr. Frankel is extremely knowledgeable, great “bedside” manner, easy going and instills in his patients a total sense of confidence and comfort. Communicates in an easy to understand fashion and gives you the time you need and answers the questions you have. He’s not just a good Doctor and a good surgeon, he’s a good man.

Awesome Doctor - very knowledgeable, not rushed, listened to, and explained thoroughly. I felt like I was going to a doctor in the city, Instead of the suburbs, meaning the care from the Doctor was exceptional. The icing on the cake was that he was readily available.

Waited only two minutes. Staff was cheerful and friendly. Dr Frankel was friendly and thorough with a good sense of humor. I felt confident with his advice on handling my injury Hopefully I won’t need to see him again, but if I do, I know I’m in good hands.
