I had thumb surgery last May. At first my index finger wasn’t bending by itself but it does now. I had the suspension plasty done on the right thumb and I have no pain or problems compared to what my hand was like before the operation. I want to thank Dr. Frenzen for the excellent repair to my hand. I know I wasn’t an easy patient!! Shelly tracy

Dr. Seth Frenzen, treated me as if he was superior to me in many ways. He snapped at me when I didn't answer his questions the way he wanted them answered and told me I wasn't listening to anything he was saying when I asked questions and explained my injury. Turns out, I have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness that has caused multiple injuries Dr. Frenzen missed completely. I would not recommend Dr. Frenzen to anyone, he is a disgrace. I left his office in tears.

My hand surgery by Dr. Frenzen has significantly improved my quality of life. There were many daily activities I couldn't do that I can now. If I need another hand surgery I would not hesitate to use Dr. Frenzen again.

Dr. Frenzen seperated my sons fingers when he was 10 months old. He was amazing with him and the surgery went great. The staff at Associates and Dr. Frenzen were there to assist us with any issues we were having and answered all of our questions. He is GREAT with kids and we couldn't have asked for better care.

I was referred to Dr. Frenzen when my usual Orthopedic Surgeon wasn't able to fit me in. Dr. Frenzen performed the surgery on my hand. He was very caring and had an exceptional bedside manner. My follow-up appointments were just the same. I would recommend Dr. Seth Frenzen to anyone needing orthopedic surgery. He is the best!!!!

I broke my ankle about a year and a half ago. I was told I had to wait a week to get the surgery. I waited with my foot actually hanging off of my leg. The surgery was extremely and unnecessarily painful. I had to return the the ER 2 days after the surgery because the cast was on too tight and causing extreme pain. I have been having problems with it even since. I recently went to another doctor and he informed me that my ankle was not correctly re-aligned. Because of this, I developed "Post Traumatic Arthritis" I am very young and can barely walk. During one of my appointments after the surgery. I overheard Dr. Frenzen asking another doctor if my ankle was OK for weight bearing. I immediately though, dude, shouldn't you know this? I noticed his lack of professionalism beyond this point. I was told by my current doctor that I shouldn't be paying for the result I got. I now have to have my ankle fused together. I will never walk the same and I am still a college student...I HIGHLY… RECOMMEND NOBODY USE DE.FRENZEN. GO ELSEWHERE.
