Dr Fronza is an excellent surgeon with an equally excellent bedside manner. He is very thorough, allows patients to ask all questions and answers them in easy-to-understand language. For the past year, he has worked so hard on my case. He has stayed the course and thanks to him I have a brand new lease on life. Northwestern Medicine: Dr Fronza is the model physician - he should teach a class in your meds school on how to be both a stand-up human being and phenomenal surgeon.

He did not delay to perform a procedure that was in my best interest. He was gentle and very thorough. He immediately put me at ease when I was quite nervous.

So, I guess that you want me copy and paste my first answer: I was impressed with Dr. Fronza's experience, credentials, and skill set. I was looking for a surgeon who would not be using mesh screening to cure a umbilical hernia and when reviewing his online presentation, it sounded like he was the surgeon of choice for me. He was clear and concise in explaining the procedure to me during my first visit.
