I am a native Southern Californian who grew up as a Kaiser Permanente member. Even when I was a youngster, I knew that I wanted to be an orthopedic surgeon, because of my interest in sports and sports injuries (I have certainly had my share of injuries). During my training in orthopedic surgery at UC San Francisco, I became fascinated with spinal surgery because of the complexity of this type of surgery, the exciting new technologies, and the dramatic improvements that I saw in some patients' lives.

This surgeon is a true quack in every sense of the word. He has personal emotional problems and takes it out on his patients by doing vicious surgical attacks in unnecessary cases. He ruined my life, and yet I still feel sorry for how empty his soul is. Yellow teeth and bald headed

He is an extremely bright and capable young surgeon who approaches spinal surgery with a conservative, cautious attitude. He simply will not work on any individual unless he or she has a clearly defined, treatable condition. My procedure was called a microdiscectomy, and it only required a very small incision which has healed nicely. I still feel some pain at times, but it is not even in the same universe as the paralyzing hurt that haunted me for almost four years. During the last two and a half years, I have not had to use any pain medication. I sleep well. The deterioration of my left leg appears to have ceased. I can walk nine miles without serious discomfort - I have not walked farther than that yet.

It's rare in today's circumstances to be fortunate enough to find a physician who takes the time to listen to problems and complaints and gives them value. Dr. Fribourg is honest and forthright. He includes the patient in opinions and decisions. I am grateful to him and for him.
