Impressive to home inspector on a treatment. I wasn't told the life expectancy of the treatment, otherwise I would have given 5 stars.
Surgery about month ago. Had visit today. Very good!!
He is the best
Dr Frisch performed xlif and all my pain in legs is gone and now starting to get back to my normal life of working out and enjoying life again.
5 star for Dr. Frisco. Very precise, to the point and gives professional sound advice.
The doctor was very informative and also a great personality. I left with a very good feeling.
Dr Frisch has been FABULOUS! I came to the spinal center for an evaluation last October 2024. Several conservative treatments did not yield pain relief so my best option was to have a fusion to repair a slipped vertebrae. The procedure was very successful and I was able to come home one day following the surgery and have a home care giver to help me recover in my own home! I just went for my two week post opt. Appt and my X-rays look good! Now it’s up to me to walk as much as I can to aid in my recovery! This has been a very positive experience and I’m so grateful for a team of Drs who truly take great care of their patients! Thank you all.
Professional kind very nice!
Always a wonderful experience even when the pain is bad but especially when the surgery was successful in minimizingbthe pain. Thank you
Excellent
