I did use Dr. Frenzel. My surgery date was 2/19 so I am about 6-7 weeks post-op. What was your experience like with the doctor and his staff? My experience has not been so good but I know one other person who loved him and his staff. Two other co-workers who used him had not so good experiences but not as bad as mine. My surgery was performed in Grand Prairie and theirs was here in Dallas at the Micro-Surgery Center.

The good and bad- He does seem to be a good surgeon and I've had no complications so far, which I am grateful for. I expected some pain, I understand that I will have some after any surgery but this has been over the top painful and unnecessarily so. 3 days afterwards I had no medicine left (took less than prescribed actually because I was trying to make it last the weekend) and had to go to the er. Only go to Dr. Frenzel if you are prepared to recover with very little pain control. He did a good job on the surgery but they are pretty anti-pain medicine and the staff isn't very nice or understanding about it. If you tend to be sensitive or want pain control go somewhere else. They give about half the adult dose for the first week and don't like to refill. I got twice as much from another doctor once when I broke my pinky toe.

**EDIT-5/14 I understand now that Dr. Frenzel is not the Dr. that is responsible for my initial pain medicine Rx, that was the discharging Dr. at the hospital (Tx General). Once I brought it up with Dr. Frenzel he corrected the situation and has talked to the hospital I was at. The surgery is healing well and all in all he did a good job, I just wish the hospital experience had been a little better.
