Explained what he was going to do,kind Listened.
By far the best doctor I've had the privilege to be diagnosed by and educated by in a manner I understood. He didn't just try to push pills on me like the other doctors I've seen for my issues. Thank you doctor Frantz for taking your oath and your humanity and applying them to your field of medical expertise. Definitely recommend to anyone i can.
Very good doctor he knew right away what was going on with my back. Very good patient doctor relationship. He really listen to my back problems.
Best sports medicine doctor I know of and I’ve been to many. I’ve been with him over 5 years and he’s kept me put together and very active. Thank you Dr Frantz.
I appreciate Dr. Frantz explaining everything to me in layman’s terms
Exceptionally superb bedside manner was professional but compassionate to my comfort. I had to have two cortisone shots in my Ty shoulder. Very painful never did Dr Franz make me feel silly for screaming. He actually apologized for hurting me c Great doctor highly recommend CV him to family and friends
