Dr. Frendo was amazing during my consultation. I was so nervous and he put my mind at ease from the very first moment. He explained everything in great detail, and addressed all my fears and concerns. I am so blessed to have found him.
I also want to talk about the office staff and the sweetest woman who did my x-rays the day I went. Everyone was so kind and willing to help. Great office, great staff, great doctor!

Excellent, and very practical. Provided exactly the guidance I needed. And stated there was no need for a follow-up unless I felt I needed one. Very much appreciated that.

it has been a great experience dealing with Dr. Frendo. He takes the time with you to make sure you fully understand the surgery you will get and what to expect along the way. My surgery went great and I felt super confident in my recovery with Dr. Frendo’s guidance. He is a kind and compassionate doctor. Not easy to find that’s days! I highly recommend Dr. Frendo and his office. Wonderful people all around.

This doctor is very friendly, informative, and competent. From the first time I met him I felt comfortable letting him do a very serious surgery on my spine. He spends as much time as needed answering questions and listening to concerns. My surgery was 3/23. My drop foot is already repaired and I am up and around more than I have been in months. There should be more doctors like Dr Frendo. I thank him and his staff for a job well done and for treating the patient like a human being.

Dr. Frendo did a lumbar spine surgery on me and the results were excellent. I was walking around with such pain before and I immediately noticed the difference. He is a very kind, skilled, knowledgeable surgeon.

I had surgery(L5-S1) on 3/18/2015, almost 3 years ago....and I feel amazing! I will admit, it took a little while for me to get back to normal, but it was definitely a mental thing & it didn’t have anything to do with the actual procedure. I quickly went from being a healthy mother of 2 young children to what felt like a 90 yr old woman in just 3 months. It was so scary! But thanks to Dr. Frendo, I’m now 40 yrs old and I feel younger, stronger & healthier than ever!
Thank you Dr. Frendo!
