Good visit and would highly recommend all my friends and family. Thank you
Very professional and knowledgeable. Top consultant and happy to refer
I saw Dr. Andrew Frankel today at Chase Lodge Hospital and couldn't be happier with the care I received. He was thorough, took the time to properly listen to my concerns, and explained everything clearly without rushing. It's rare to find a consultant who combines that level of expertise with genuine warmth and patience. The whole visit felt professional and well organised, and I left feeling reassured and well looked after. Highly recommend Dr. Frankel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and attentive doctor.
Dr Frankel gave me some great advice in terms of what I can do to improve my kidney function. He also recommended that my GP made some changes to my medication so that my kidneys are protected. I am so glad that I went to see Dr Frankel
My second visit to Dr Frankel’s clinic. It’s always a pleasure. Appointments are on time, the clinic is 1st class and the medical staff are consistently excellent. Dr Frankel has an excellent beside manner, and takes his time to explain everything.
I was seen very swiftly and promptly in a professional manner. Dr Frankel understood my concerns and gave me clear explanation every step of the way. Allowing me the opportunity to ask any questions that I may have had.
That was my first appointment with Dr.A.Frenkel and he made a very good impression.
Dr Frankel was at pains to explain clearly the results of tests I have had and the course of action he recommends. He was reassuring about my condition.
Dr Frankel was really professional and empathetic and did a good job of putting my mind at rest and calmly and clearly walked through next steps with me.
From the moment I first met Dr. Frankel, I could not have been happier. He listened to my history very calmly, and once he saw my scans, he immediately told me the initial and urgent steps I needed to take in order to improve my situation and safeguard my kidneys. He is always very helpful with providing prescriptions, recommendations, etc promptly. Overall, an exceptionally professional and helpful doctor whom it is a pleasure to consult and to be under his care. Highly recommended.
