Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My husband is still bleeding profusely 1 week after surgery. He received no after care instructions on paper no verbally. Whenever I or he call to complain about the bleeding we're told it is normal. He's wearing depends for the bleeding because the gauze alone won't keep the bleeding at bay. They say theres no need to go to the ER but it has to heal. I came home to blood all over the house

Dr. Frenkel is is a very good doctor. He explains what he is doing very well. Unfortunately the aftercare you recieve if you are placed on 5 South in Maryview is the worst. I can understand now why this hospital is nowhere people want to go.

This is a FIVE star establishment! Everyone works together as a team. From fast, friendly check-in, to less than a 10 minute wait, to making sure I am completely comfortable during my exam, Ending in Dr. Frenkel’s consultation, he kindly answered all my questions and clearly explained the test results and the surgical procedure. Dr. Frenkel and his staff helped me in this difficult and scary time. I cannot say enough to properly compliment Dr. Frenkel J

Dr. Frenkel was fantastic. He took time to answer all of my questions, and he listened to me. I have not had a surgical procedure in 37 years, and my anxiety was extreme. He took the extra time needed to put me at ease. I really appreciate him and his staff.
