Several years ago I was desperate to find someone who would not dismiss a problem with my right knee. I was finally referred to Dr. Frankel who immediately diagnosed a torn meniscus, which was backed up by an MRI. All of the meniscus was removed but I have done well with arthritic bone on bone and his help, including a prescription for a stabilizing knee brace. I have never had to wait long and I have found him very understanding and encouraging as I struggled to keep up with my love of hiking on a bad knee. He is now scheduled to replace the knee. I'm scared about the knee replacement but trust him.
