I understand that Dr are on a time limit for each patient however before I even came in the room I remembered that I needed something looked at that has been bothering me for some time I felt completely dismissed and I feel it's because I wasn't there for that particular issue even though it was on the same leg same area ect

Dr. Frantz was amazing — my mom has dementia, and he was incredibly considerate of her ability to communicate, and had just the right approach to put her at ease while she received a cortisone shot for tendonitis. I would highly recommend Dr. Frantz to anyone with a loved one who suffers from cognitive decline.
