Dr. Paul Christopher Francel

He scheduled me for surgery the next week after my first visit. Tried NOTHING else. Convinced me surgery was my only option. I was no longer in any pain the day of surgery and mentioned I thought it was weird that I was having surgery when I no longer hurt. Before surgery I told him I had a 1 year old to care for and was worried about recovery. I was also a health/fitness fanatic. He assured me I would be good to go. Better than ever. Well he purposely did 2 surgeries instead of 1 since 2 surgeries is a lot more money. I then had to have another surgeon remove the hardware from my back. He apparently was known for doing multiple surgeries unlike any other surgeon. I was actually warned to google him by someone in the medical field that risked losing their job to warn me. Immediately after I received a letter he had family issues to tend to and was no longer practicing so sorry for you. Find someone else. He had so many suits against him and gad let his insurance lapse there was no… funds left to compensate anyone other than the poor people that he damaged the worst. I have never been the same and have chronic pain. Fitness is a thing of the past because it’s to painful. This guy should be ashamed of himself. Especially living this sham of a life to save face.

He did neck surgery, and It has not hurt since, I had 2 back surgeries because after the 1st one I broke the cages he put in me, he did second surgery hard recovery but I survived it can walk and do things I would no beable to do if he had not done the surgery, every Dr I seen swore I had bulging disc and nothing could be done, Francel found that the discs were gone and I was rubbing bone to bone and was lucky to even walk before the surgery. He also did a brain screw to see if I had pressure in my brain, I love this man he was a God sent for me and other members of my family. 12 years later the Doctors I seen say that I have failed back syndrom which means tht the back surgery never work, well I have news for them because I can still walk and do more then I would of If I never had the surgery. I will not let another doctor touch my back or neck they don't care about there patients and are not very smart. its sad he left his practice but the lords work is more important. thank you Dr… Francell for all you did for me and my nephew scott.

I have early onset PD (age 34). I had severe tremors and other problems. Dr Francel placed bi-lateral Deep Brain Stimulators, in year 2000. Have had no probems can get around well, have no tremors.

Dr. Francel saved my friend's life from a potentionally terminal adult neuroblastoma (T Deleplain). I would not hesitate to see him if the need arises.

I had pain in my lower back for years thinking my hip was out of place, i went to a pcp that had me do a mri, he sent me to Dr. Francel. He told me i had to have surgery immediately because my spinal cord could be severed. I had the surgery in 2006(lumbar infusion) and I am still in pain where the site ends and begins! I sleep on an ice pack every night. He told me i could do anything that I would be like brand new! I can't even stand on my feet longer than an hour with out my back screaming me! It makes me so sad. I trusted him and he failed me. He seemed wonderful at first before the surgery but after the surgery he didn't want to hear I was pain. (maybe he needs to realize he's not as good as he thinks he is, that he can make mistakes)

Dr Paul Francel performed a right temporalobectomy in 2002 that corrected a lifetime of seizure activity. I have been seizure free since my surgery and am on very limited medications. I owe so much to Dr Francel. I pray for him and his family at this time.

He is the most wonderful man in the world. I wish there was more drs like him.

Dr.Francel did my back surgery in 07 and I am in more pain now than I was before...

My father died due to his negligence

Dr. Francel is so extremely nice and works well with his patients. He takes good care of you before and after surgery and explains the procedures well. He is a surgeon, so when you go into his office he is going to give you a surgical opinion. Expecting to h ave surgery when you see him is not a shock -his a surgeon
