What our patients are saying

Dr Frantz, is the most understanding, compassionate doctor I have ever been to see. Not only is she very accurate with her medical knowledge, but she takes the time to be with you when there are personal issues which are causing your medical problems. You leave the office knowing that you have a "best friend" in a field where you basically know nothing and are in someone else's hands. Kudos to you Dr Frantz..I thank you for the way you make me feel mentally and physically. !!
