Recently, I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Frenkel on surgery for spinal stenosis of the neck. The surgery required the fusion of four vertebrae. Notably, I experienced only relatively minor pain for a few days following the surgery - and I was driving and walking a mile each day within a week of the procedure. In addition to the excellent results from my surgery, from start to finish, I found Dr. Frenkel and his team to be very caring, personable and responsive.

Before scheduling my appointment I read Dr. Frenkel's credentials and was confident in his abilities. When I met with him and he looked at me and said, "I can't stand seeing you in so much pain", I realized I was in the presence of not only a highly trained surgeon, but one with compassion and empathy. What more can you ask for? Two days later he repaired my herniated disc and I was able to stand upright for the first time in months. My pain is gone ... I've got my life back. Thank you, Dr. Frankel.

Dr. Frenkel is the best surgeon....of any kind. I had 2 surgeries...the first conservative, which didn't last, and the second a fusion of 3 vertebrae. He is intelligent, kind, thoughtful, creative, and well educated. I would give him more stars if I could! This doctor is the real deal.

Amazing job on my surgery. Thank you Dr. Frankel for giving me my life back.

I have had 8 back surgeries...2 cervical & 6 lower lumbar. I started at age 16 & now 75. Dr Gerber did my last four fusions & he literally saved my life from constant, relentless pain. Apparently, Dr Frenkel does posterior fusions & he is beyond compassionate, kind & knowledgeable. Do not be deceived by his age! I wish I could adopt him!

Excellent doctor! I fratured my back in 3 places, 1 vertebrae required surgery. Dr. Frenkel put in 2 rods and 8 screws. Could not ask of more from any doctor.

Did not return calls for a patient with a spinal fracture. No oain medications. No communication. Find another doctor

Dr. Mark Frenkel performed surgery on my lower back to repair a ruptured disc between L2 & L3. I had experienced lower back pain for years as a result of stenosis and disc issues, but nothing compared to the pain of rupturing a disc. I was in severe pain, unable to support my weight without help. The surgery involved spinal fusion of the L2 L3 vertebrae, inserting a mesh "cage" in place of the disc, bracing the area with rods/bolts and tweaking the area where the stenosis existed. I am approximately 12 weeks post op and pain free. I look forward to getting back to my normal, active lifestyle as quickly as possible. I was a new patient with Dr. Frenkel and am thankful for his wonderful work in restoring my mobility.

I had severe radiating pain on the left side of my head. I was treated with shots which were no help. On my first visit with Dr Frenkel, he instantly diagnosed my problem which was confirmed by x-rays. He performed surgery which took away the pain immediately. He has a very compassionate caring way that gives you confidence. He is one phenominal surgeon and person. I am so grateful for him.

I was headed towards a very invasive, somewhat risky surgery with a long recovery that as it turns out would not have resolved my issue. Dr. Frankel was recommended to me by a doctor friend and he had the foresight to send me to a Neurologist for some tests only to find out my issue was in the aria of the knee and not the back. Instead of a six hour operation, several days in the hospital and six months recover (none of which would have fixed my problem) I ended up with a thirty minute surgery and walked out of the the same day with most of my leg and foot functions already restored. It was a great catch by a great doctor. I'll never be able to thank him enough.

Dr. Frenkel performed my back surgery for my herniated L5 disc. Same day surgery. No pain at all. He was fantastic and my husband and I were very impressed with him & his staff!. Highly recommend him!
