I have been seeing Dr Frisch since 2013 and he, his PAs, and his medical assistants have always been professional and caring. I have recommended this practice to many people who have also been very pleased with their care.
Waited over two and a half hours for my appt. Gave two discs from prior MRI, CT scan and said he didn't agree with what was written. No bedside manor, no apologies for the ridiculous wait. I will never ever give a recommendation for this place. I will say the nurses and receptionists were nice.
Enjoy Dr. Frisch!! He's helped me tremendously!!! Thank You!!
I’ve been going here for a year after many visits I am not reaching by objective to lower pain. I feel like this organization is structured to maximize profit and lacks individual attention to specific problems. The follow ups focus on PR instead of connecting with care feedback.
Brusk, unsympathetic, doesn't present bad news very well
I am truly thankful for Dr Frisch's God given healing thru surgery on my back. I have my life back again. I can walk without my legs going numb and am back to doing must everything I love since my surgery
Everyone there was great. Dr Frisch was extremely helpful.
Great Guy, explained everything on my X-ray after surgery. Back feels great.
He was awesome and I can’t wait to figure this out with him
Excellent visit
