Dr Frantz is always concerned, listens, and treats accordingly. I wish I'd had him after I was injured 25 years ago. I dont think i would have suffered like I have this ling. But, the damage has been done now. Thank God for Drs like Dr Frantz. He is one of the few who you can actually tell that he cares.
