 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a patient at NJBS since 2009, but this was my first experience with Dr. Frankel. I found him easy to talk to and to be a good listener. He provides clear explanations patiently entertains questions. I feel fortunate to have been in his care. He performed a 2-level lumbar fusion, tying it into a pre-existing fusion above. I was out of bed that night and home 2 days later. To say it was a successful outcome would be an understatement. I have no hesitancy in recommending him to anyone requiring spine surgery. Finally, NJBS’s offices are modern, spacious and well-run with a pleasant and courteous staff.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Frankel gave a very thorough consultation, he asked very pertinent questions about my health and provided detailed explanations on his diagnosis. His explanations provided me with a clear understanding of the future plan of care and options that I have. He addressed all my needs including assistance with access to another specialist. I left with all necessary documents and a scheduled follow up appointment. There was even a follow up call to see if I received a call from to recommended specialist. The attention to detail is wonderful. The staff from 1st phone contact to leaving were very friendly and attentive.
