The reviews listed below were collected independently of Florida Orthopaedic Institute through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr Frankle is absolutely excellent. He does not rush into surgery as most surgeons wish to. When the time was right, he performed a reverse shoulder replacement. I felt better after day 2 and movement has improved considerably to near normal range after 4 months. I would recommend Dr Frenkle to anyone with shoulder issues. In my case, which was very complicated due to other health issues, he changed my life and i am forever grateful.

Dr Frankle has done two shoulder replacements on me and the results have been fantastic. I have zero pain and great range of motion. Count yourself fortunate if you have him as your doctor.

Dr. Frankle took time to help me understand my diagnosis and the options available.
He focused on what was important to me such as pain, range of motion, and quality of life decisions.
I'm appreciative of the time he gave me.
A true education.

I'm a 75 year old SCI patient and have seen many doctors in my life. Doctor Frankle is beyond the shadow of a doubt the absolute best of the best. He exhibits a very high degree of empathy towards his patients. He is straight forward with his communications, very knowledgeable and has a very friendly disposition. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing help with their shoulders!!!
