Patient Reviews
Dec 16, 2022
I went to Dr. Frendo about a neck injury that was paining me. He was a second opinion I was seeking about surgery options. I thought his explanation of the injuries and what was going to be done to correct it made me very comfortable. I chose him to be my surgical doctor. The surgery was 2 weeks ago and although my injuries were complex, he made me comfortable with what he did in the surgery, that is really what I was looking for, a doctor who made me comfortable and able to understand the injury and surgery process, and I have had 19 prior surgeries so I have heard a lot before, he is by far one of the most competent.
