Completely misdiagnosed my problem after it was first misdiagnosed by Eliza McClintic at Guthrie, Ophthalmology! They are both seriously incompetent and dangerous.

I saw Dr. Frodel at the Guthrie Hospital in Sayre PA. First appointment was less than 10 minutes, he asked me about 5 questions. The second appointment was about 5 minutes and he didn't remember anything from the first appointment. The old man didn't even know how to use a camera to take pictures of my nose. He gave up taking pictures of my nose and said they weren't that important anyway. Plus his hands were shaking very badly. Also I have never had a doctor that ignored 3 of my messages on Eguthrie before. He just blatantly ignored 3 messaged of mine that were asking very simple straightforward perfectly reasonable questions. Plus the guy has had half-a-dozen different offices that I could find. Not letting this guy anywhere near my nose and neither should you.

Dr. Frodel is the BEST in the field. I did hours of research before choosing a surgeon to do my facelift and I'm so glad I did. He may be the most kind surgeon I've ever met! A+++ in bedside manner. HIGHLY recommend. Clearly an expert at what he does.
