Very friendly. Very knowledgeable and thorough with explanations and answering questions. He realized how back my husband’ hip was and informed us surgery could be 2 months away but is working to expedite the surgery date and get him in quicker. Highly recommend

Phenomenal listener! Explains his thought process very well leaving you with a full understanding what’s going on and most importantly gives you a plan of action. Unfortunately in my case due to my particular medical issues he was not able to operate on me. But he did explain to the nth degree why! I definitely was upset but not with him whatsoever and appreciate his honesty and concern for my safety.

Personable, knew how to explain what was happening in my hip and didn't pressure to operate. I know a couple of people he's operated on and they are really pleased. I've decided to let him replace my hip.

Had a excellent appointment with Dr Frandsen. We went through the options for my aging hip and I selected a shot and today I don,t have the naging pain that I had previous to my appointment. Thank you and your staff, job well done.

Closest thing to Star Trek I will ever experience. Almost instant relief from what was causing my pain for so long. Dr Frandsen is very personable and caring. His innovations must make him tops in the nation.

Competent and kind, from start to finish. I felt like I was in the hands of a master surgeon, yet he is compassionate and approachable! Such a rare combination.
