Very nice gentleman you tell you step-by-step of everything that needs to be done and that’s gonna get done. He did an outstanding surgery on my shoulder. I will recommend family and friends to him. Thank you again, sir. Laura Guzman is outstanding. She returns calls and she really cares about taking care of the patient. Thank you very much for everything you do.

I had my reverse shoulder done by Dr Frankle in 2022. It was due to a failed HEMI that was coming apart and a failing rotator cuff. For this reason I would never go to anyone else for this surgery. My surgery went great and healing has been ongoing even 3 years later. Surgery is the easy part - PT is where the work is at an important part of the success.

He explained exactly what was wrong with my shoulders, told me that surgery was not a good option,but gave me ideas on non-operational alternatives that I can try to relieve my pain. He listened intently to me, and explained everything in a way that I understood exactly what my options for pain relief are.
