Explained everything in detail. Answered all my questions and was very thorough.
Sep-2024
We are blessed in the Tampa Bay area to have internationally recognized doctors to see. Dr Frankle is one of those doctors. He was very thorough, great bed side manner, and I left the appt knowing I had one of the top doctors opinion in the country. He is an innovative surgeon and actually told me to hold off on shoulder replacement for now. Florida Orthopedic Institute and Tampa General Hospital are excellent facilities and you should really try to get into see Dr Frankle if you are having shoulder issues.

First meeting with Dr. Frankle and I am impressed by his thorough assessment! I did not feel rushed! Presented a non-surgical and surgical option available for me and explained it well! His fellow initially did the assessment and then he came in to do his! I left the office feeling that I am in good hands!

Great Doctor replaced my right shoulder 4 years ago, I come every year for a progress report.
Jul-2024
Today was my first visit with Dr Frankle. I was incredibly surprised, in a good way, at the time he took to learn about me and what my goals are for the future with regard to treatment of my shoulder. He gave me a really comprehensive outline of what I can expect before, during and after surgery and explained how he’s going to choose which type of shoulder procedure he’ll do. I went into the appointment with a lot of trepidation and have been making excuses for not getting it done. I left Dr Frankle feeling positive about my choice to get surgery and confident that he’ll give me a gold medal outcome.
Jul-2024
Dr. Frankle always takes time to explain his decisions and answers all of my questions and concerns.
Jul-2024
I absolutely loved him he tells it like it is he is not a surgeon that pushed surgery.
He takes a look at everything and assess the Dustin accordingly. He gives suggestions and goes over the options very clearly. I was very impressed.
Jul-2024
Always willing to spend time to answer your questions
Jul-2024

May-2024
Dr Frankle did an amazing job doing my reverse shoulder . I had a HEMI ( half shoulder ) done in 2013, and didn’t know that those only last 5 years. The appliance had started to loosen after 9 years and no other Dr would touch it at the time. Two surgeons actually recommended Dr Frankle in 2019, but I had to wait due to another surgery.
In 2022 on May 23, Dr Frankle reversed my shoulder and I’m back to being able to function with the majority of the activities I would like to do. I have a nerve issue in my neck that is not related to the surgery itself but the nerve block the anesthesiologist gave me. My neck was already a mess, so the injection affected my Brachial plexus, and that was my biggest challenge as far as pain goes. My advice would be to look at other ways to block pain if neck issues are already present. As far as choosing the right Dr for a reverse shoulder replacement - Dr Frankle is the absolute best !
May-2024
Saw Dr Frankle's PA today which was fine because it was a yearly follow-up for my left shoulder.
May-2024
2 year follow up for rt. shoulder. Saw Dr. Frankle and a Fellow. Both were extremely cordial and informative and didn’t feel the least bit rushed.

Very easy to talk to very thorough and great diagnosis
Oct-2023
I felt like I wasted his time! Intern made one diagnosis then came in and tapped my wrist said I also had carpal tunnel. Frankle came in gave different diagnosis and said I do shoulder and this is neck. I can’t help you and you need to see neck specialist. Maybe you can get in tomorrow. Waste of my time!

Hes friendly. Nice Doctor.
Oct-2023
Excellent, so accurate diagnosis
Oct-2023
Very Calming & an amazing surgeon. Dr. Frankel replaced my 83 year old moms shoulder. I just went, didn’t need any procedures. My husband will be going to see Dr Frankel next week.

Dr Frankle was wonderful and answered the many questions we had! Thank you!

Put my needs first and listened to me. He offered non-invasive methods and for a surgeon (who lives for cutting), that was reassuring. I would recommend him if you were 1 mile or 1000 miles away!

May-2023
knowledgeable, personable, informative. Thank you
Apr-2023
I’ve been a patient of Dr Frankle since 2010. Back then it was first for management of left shoulder pain, then eventually a total replacement of that shoulder in early 2012. I liked many things about Dr Frankle and among them was insistence of not rushing to surgery. My left shoulder was and still is a great success. I’m a very active and physical individual and was able to return to my full life activities as soon as the surgery healed. Now, 11 years later, he will be replacing my right shoulder. I wouldn’t want anyone else to do it. He is attentive, patient, compassionate and reassuring. I would direct any and all family to Dr Frankle should the need arise!…rl
Apr-2023
Can’t imagine a shoulder surgeon better than Dr. Frankle. My shoulder replacement (2015)went flawlessly and my recovery was relatively pain free! Couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. My wife recently saw Dr Frankle for a shoulder problem as diagnosed by two other Doctors. After a rigorous physical exam and some “critical outside the box thinking”, Dr Frankle concluded that her problem had nothing to do with her shoulder. Brilliant!
Dr Frankle
Apr-2023
No complaints whatsoever.
Apr-2023
Dr Frankle was recommended by another surgeon friend for a 2nd opinion. Great recommendation!!! He advises a much more conservative approach than 1st. And he explained in common terms why. Very thorough in his explanation and instills confidence in us.
Apr-2023
The best!!!
Apr-2023
His resident is fantastic. Dr. Frankle himself instills confidence in his knowledge and experience. They are both very personable.
Apr-2023

Wonderful doctor. He’s always available for the patient. He really cares about everyone…
Apr-2023
Always so organized and pleasant!
Apr-2023
Dr Frankle is by far the best shoulder surgeon in Florida - maybe in the nation ? When it comes to reverse shoulder surgery he has all the knowledge and competence any Dr can have! Dr Frankle just needs to prescribe physical therapy afterwards - which he did ! I just had to convince him it was the right move for me. He listens very carefully to his patients and makes time to answer all your questions. The only regret I have is starting physical therapy so late. I also have a nerve issue from the epidural that is ongoing but it happens very rarely. I already had a neck issue so talk to your anesthesiologist about whether or not you have other options . I would absolutely use Dr Frankle as my surgeon again ! A master in his field !
Apr-2023
Dr Frankle was great - but waited for 2 hours with no real apology until I expressed my displeasure
Apr-2023
I feel very comfortable with Dr Frankle
He explained to me about needing surgery now on my left shoulder. Dr Frsnklle doesn’t put any pressure on me to make a decision..
Mar-2023
What an honor to meet him. What a nice guy. The whole place, everyone, was great! He said he could fix my problem! That really made my day!
Mar-2023
Very thorough and gave me options.
Mar-2023
Good visit!
Mar-2023
So thankful I saw this wonderful physician.
Mar-2023
Great staff and doctors. Was seen an hour beyond appointment time. Then waited another 30 min or so for the recommended injection. I’m retired so not a huge deal but for working folks might be concerning.
Mar-2023
I didn't c Dr Frankle this time .. so this rating is not for current visit today .. I saw Dr Albertson this visit and I would also give him a 5 star rating !
Everyone in EVERY department u r in contact with during ur visit has ALWAYS treated me very professionally ..
Mar-2023
waited a very long time so I saw PA instead for an injection. On the future I will just book with the PA. Not sure if that would have helped but I don’t always need to see the Dr. just for a shot
Mar-2023
Dr. Frankle puts a lot of work into figuring out your diagnosis and treatment. He’s the best!
Mar-2023
The best Doctor in the word, he saved my life at my young age and I love him very much. So gratefull to have him take care of me and my family. God bless him.
Feb-2023
Dr. Frankle is caring & very thorough!

Feb-2023
Very good experience.
Jan-2023
I have complete faith in Dr. Frankle. I had a reverse right shoulder replacement with Dr. Frankle about 7 years ago. It was a difficult surgery and turned out great. I would recommend him to anyone. My husband also had a right shoulder replacement with Dr. Frankle. We are his biggest fans.
Jan-2023
I began seeing Dr. Frankle in the
1990's when I fractured both elbows. One elbow needed surgery. Over the years I needed surgery again for my elbow due to another fall.. Once again, Dr. Frankle operated and repaired it. I now live in Daytona Beach, but will gladly return to see Dr. Frankle for any future injuries to my arms or elbows!
Jan-2023
Dr. Frankle is very kind and helpful.
Jan-2023

Nov-2022
Outstanding care over the last 11 years. Quickly diagnosed and fixed a minor problem causing major impacts on my life.
Nov-2022
Dr. Frankel's demeanor was not only professional but very personable. My concerns were addressed fully. The patients in his waiting room praised his work emphatically. They stated they would choose him over any other surgeon. I was impressed to say the least.
Nov-2022
Dr. Frankle explains everything verbaly and with xrays to include a visual understanding of ones visit. I never felt rushed at any point of the visit.
Nov-2022
Dr. Frankle spent time with me explaining that my shoulder/arm/hand pain is not due to shoulder pathology despite my MRA definitely giving that impression. Plus, I had symptoms of each muscle/tendon on that MRA that was painful. Yet, I knew I had normal ROM and strength which caused much anxiety with frequent interruptions. Dr. Frankle settled my mind that my shoulder was fine and that I should check with Neurology for the burning, radiating symptoms possibly coming from the cervical region. I didn't get to mention I had a picture of the trigger point referral pattern exactly matching my description of the subscapularis pain which I still believe I have from my injury 8/19. He is a true expert. Thank You, Dr. Frankle!

Dr. Frankle is the absolute best orthopedic surgeon. I’ve never been so impressed and happy with an ortho. I saw 5 others before him. Thank goodness for referrals from other local medical professionals. Dr. Davis was great too!
Jul-2022
I actually did not see the doctor today but rather saw the PA. He was very helpful even though he was not able to provide treatment because of an upcoming potential surgery. Cortizone injection would have been contraindicated and he was very patient and explaining such.
Jul-2022
I have met with many doctors over many years and I can say that Dr. Frankle is without a doubt one of the best I have known. His knowledge is impressive, but his demeanor and the way he can talk and interact with a patient that is facing a significant life altering surgery is exceptional.

Very understanding. He is really a perfectionist with his work.
Jun-2022
I scheduled with a Dr. Frankle and was pawned off to his resident and never got to see the specialist. It is medical bait and switch ---- I chose a top notch specialists and never got to see him. I was not impressed with resident and I got billed as if I saw a specialist. This is not the first time FOI has done this; last time, I saw an LPN instead. I will start looking for independent orthopedists instead of FOI.
Jun-2022
Dr. Frankle listened to my concerns and explained my options. He was very professional and took his time to discuss all my medical issues. Looks like Shoulder surgery is in my future and I feel confident about the outcome.

Dr. Frankle is great. BUT I did not see him today. The physician I saw was probably quite good. However, I was disappointed that he never told me what he might have thought is causing my pain and stiffness.
Also, I woman passed out in the waiting room. Another patient and I did what we could to help her while we waited for medical help, which, in my opinion, was way too slow in arriving.
