Dr. Frank has been my primary care physician for seven years, and I cannot recommend him highly enough as a diagnostician of both simple and complex matters, as a treatment provider, and as a short term wise-guide when life goes temporarily askew.
Dr. Frank is a bona fide, true scientist, with solid knowledge of medicine, and a questioning, self-critical and razor sharp mind. His questions go straight to the point as he has engaged me time and time again on dis-entangling puzzles and interaction effects. What I really value here is his complete transparency about the state-of-the-science and where it veers to art, all done with unmistakable respect for his patients as living, functional people engaged in complex lives and unique bodies. He clearly and concisely discusses diagnostic probabilities and treatment options, leading with data, not belief or the latest brochure from the Big Pharma rep.
Dr. Frank always advocates for his patients, even when it requires going cross-wise with other medical professionals. When a sudden asthma attack took me to an emergency room and I was wary of a very invasive procedure, I insisted on his second opinion. He had a wizened colleague specialist at my bedside within the hour. The invasive procedure was neither done nor necessary.
I am trained in the health sciences, but chose to leave that field to go into computer science. Still, I have known many, many physicians. I am happy to say that Dr. Frank ranks at the top of these. I trust him with my life with no reservations whatsoever, from minor to major illnesses. He prefers conservative treatments, but is not shy of more aggressive options when the illness warrants and the patient is fully informed.
The MedNorwest Clinic is bright, clean, hospitable. The staff are amazing, knowing your name as if they had pictures, very friendly, and highly skilled. Either the staff or Dr. Frank return emails within the hour, at least by end of day. Appointments are quickly obtained and waiting has been very rare for me. Parking is in an attached garage and is validated to no charge.
