    Dr. Frinkelman was one of the sweetest doctors that I have ever met. He gave off such a grandpa vibe. He was very calm, caring. We were able to laugh and he explained everything while he was doing the procedure. I was not worried about anything at all. He is one of the best doctors that I have ever seen, ever.

    He is the first person who finally got what I had been trying to say about my legs not working right. I'm hopeful I'll be able to get treatment for the problem now.

    The doctor who did my EMG was thorough in his examination, clearly explained things, and took time to get a brief history of my condition. The doctor was also friendly and had an outstanding bedside manner. I wish he were my doctor.
