Great surgeon! Wished I’d had this surgery years ago. No more pain and no more drop foot.
Dr Frisch was very kind and did not rush and answered all my questions.
My whole experience there at SESpine was great, and Dr. Frisch was very helpful, was so glad he recommended shot as that whole experience was great also- everyone treats you great, glad I made the decision to try you.
Great surgeon! Was able to free up the nerve in my lumbar spine so I had no more pain down my leg!
Very informative. Good “ bedside” manner.
Very
Listens to what I need to say and does not make feel rushed. I feel like I am in hands while in his care.
Nothing done yet. Have to come back in 5 days for imaging. I expected more. Or at least an educated guess and recommendation on how to take care of myself. Not very efficient of my time.
Dr Frisch and his staff are super.
I was super pleased that I could Get an appointment quickly. All in the office were very personal.
