Patient Care

Surgery on the face is serious business and requires a great deal of thoughtfulness and care. In order to maximize the chance for a successful outcome, Dr. Frankel takes time to understand his patients and guide them to making the best decisions for their situations.

As a physician, Dr. Frankel feels that has a responsibility to act in his patients’ best interests. If a patient makes a request that Dr. Frankel believes would be deleterious or which have a greater risk than benefit, he will discuss his concerns and suggest more suitable alternatives to achieve the desired result.

Personal Consultation

You will hear about how he plans to approach your surgery and what the alternatives are. He will walk you through the entire surgical process so you know what to expect each step of the way, and he will try to set expectations. A description of the process from the preoperative period until the final healing has occurred will be detailed and all of your questions addressed.
