Dr. Franz is an outstanding Orthopedic surgeon, and was very attentive to my injury. I was extremely impressed by his extensive knowledge, and his recommendation for treatment. The staff were all very friendly, and my wait time was minimal. I wouldn't go anywhere else for my Orthopedic concerns!

I thought I was going in for a RFA which is what appointment was for and yet again I walk out with nothing. I'm paying a $25 copay for no reason. I just don't understand. My time is being wasted and my money. Extremely disappointed

Dr. Frantz and Odey are wonderful. I came to the office with questions regarding my knee pain. Dr. Frantz treated me on the spot. That's compassion. The treatment was successful.
