Dr. Frankel is very good at her job: she is thorough and listens to my concerns every time I have had an appointment with her.
Providence Patient
My waiting time was a bit longer than normal BUT my feeling is that when things are running a little late, it means the doctor is taking the time necessary to answer concerns that the other patients have, since I appreciate the time I am given when I have extra concerns, I have no problem waiting. With a dermatologist, each patient may need a biopsy or more freezing of spots. She caught four areas of concern and one that required further treatment- the other three need to use the chemo cream at home. I feel Dr. Frankle does a very thorough job and and I am very pleased to have her as my doctor.
Providence Patient
Love Dr Frankel. She treats me like an adult and If and "in office" surgery Is necessary she Is gentle, fast, thorough and follows through with directions for after care. If I question a spot where I have noticed a change she explains what It Is and how I can treat It at home If surgery Is not necessary. My only complaint is waiting so long to get in to see her if I have to change an appointment.
