Reviews
Dr. Frachtman is a great doctor. He listens to me then thinks before he responds. He has never rushed into making a decision and I always have appreciated that.
Always professional and trustworthy
Can't ask for a better doctor in his field,kind caring and very informative on his health experience 👏 👍 love this doctor cause I feel confident about what he does at time of procedure.
Awesome. After being told different things, I finally got the answer to what was going on. If it wasn't for him, I would have had a medical procedure I didn't need. Highly recommend.
His been my Doctor for over 20 years.1 of the best in his field
