Dr Frisch and team (Amanda) have been amazing throughout my back surgery procedure and all of the related visits. My life has improved 100% and would highly recommend to others.
Great
Exceptional
He was extremely responsive and scheduled an EMG and MRI the same day as my office visit.
Seems like a great provider for his patients. He cares a lot to check on me. Thanks
