Drove 2 hours for his expertise. He assured me, in his opinion, waiting to have shoulder replacement wouldn’t be damaging to the existing joint. I appreciated his directness and experience very much.

Diagnostic was excellent Treatment was spot on Wait time in office 1 hour last time, but sometimes some people need more time than is allotted. But that would not be a deterrent for the excellent treatment received.

I was very grateful to be in the best surgeon’s hands. I woke up after surgery with a smile on my face. The staff at TGH and his team were all incredible. I recommend him to everyone in need of a shoulder surgeon.

Dr Frankle is an outstanding doctor, both in his surgical skills and his treatment of patients. He performed a reverse shoulder joint replacement on me 9 months ago…….very successful — putting my care in Dr Frankie’s hands was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Dr. Frankel has trained his PAs exceptionally well. I feel comfortable with them all and they are very competent. I appreciate Dr Frankel's approach to shoulders. Letting them heal naturally if at all possible leaving surgery as a very last resort. Highly recommend him and his team

Dr Frankle and his staff are excellent. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Always treat the patient as a priority. Sometimes the schedule gets behind and you may have to wait past your appointment time, but a good doctor & staff are worth the wait. Just be patient and you'll be glad you did.

I wouldn’t be having a normal everyday life if it weren’t for Dr. Frankle. He fixed my complicated shoulder two years ago and I have felt remarkably better. He’s very knowledgeable and professional. He knows his field of work very well and has the best and most professional people working with him. I feel very blessed to always count on him as my Orthopedic Doctor. I highly recommend him.
