overall good experience.

Yes, I would return. Not only had he treated what I was going in for, but was ready to check another issue that's been bothering me which I brought up. He was ready to perform those tests without a heads up or any prep necessary

Doctor was great! I will go back again.

Great place!
October 28, 2022Jarrod S.Verified patient
Seeing Dr.Frake was probably my best doctor appointment I've ever had.. and there have been many. He easily identified that I actually need a neurologist but was SO informative on medications I was taking..why I am feeling the way I am feeling and the neurological disorder i am most likely suffering from that I finally feel there is hope and I know what to address now. I learned more in 10 minutes talking with him than I have over the last 10 years of doctors visits. Kinda sad he can't be my neurologist but so happy I was able to meet with him. If you need an ENT, choose Dr.Frake. You won't be disappointed.

After 20+ years with same ENT I decided it was time to get a fresh perspective on my hearing situation. Only problem is that Becker ENT is not part of BC/BS Horizon Insurance. So that may become an issue. Otherwise, really recommend Dr. Frake!
June 10, 2021Craig C.Verified patient
Dr. Frake listened to my questions and concerns and didn’t rush me. At the conclusion of the visit, I was confident that I had a plan for next steps.
June 10, 2021Valerie C.Verified patient
Great doctor, front desk is also very smart and capable in sending my scripts and even letting my pharmacist know to apply the GoodRx coupons before I got to the pharmacy since I don’t have insurance and am paying out of pocket.

The doctor acted always as though I was truly important. Never appeared to be in hurry. Always focused on me.
Ended by saying, if you need me please call.
January 19, 2021Frederick L.Verified patient
Excellent bedside manner addressed our concerns and informed us of what preventive testing will be needed for further treatment.
More than 1 year agoTalha M.Verified patient
Dr. Frake is a wonderful surgeon! He is very thorough and really takes his time to make sure all his patient's questions are answered and they feel comfortable. He did a partial thyroidectomy for me and I could not be happier with the results. He did everything in his power to keep my incision as small as possible, and 2 weeks post op, my incision/scar is barely even noticeable!
