Dr. F replaced my acl in 2010. He had to go back in twice to retrieve things. It has never been right since. 8 years later I had another Dr look at it and he said it was done poorly, meniscus is torn, and a long list of other things. I now am forced to get a total knee replacement because of all that and I have no cartilage left. I am not happy.

Kind, caring, and patient. Listens and then gives his opinion.

Dr Franssen gave me my new knee about 3 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. I am doing things now that I would never have been able to do before. He had his work cut out for him too as I have had 5 previous surgeries and ended up with no knee cap. With a custom ordered knee I am now running, doing Triathlons, riding horses, doing aerobics etc all with no pain!

He was very personable and showed that he actually cared to take the time to find out what was causing the pain. He will be recommended repeatedly by me.

I have been truly happy with my experience with Dr Franssen. He is kind, caring, and takes the time to explain things and never rushes through your visit. I highly recommend Dr Franssen :)

Dr. Franssen talks TO you and not AT you. Even when running behind, he will stay to explain everything until he knows that you understand completely.

Nice personality, but missed multiple problems/injuries.
