With his experience, commitment to patients, and continued professional development, Dr. Nicholas B. Frisch has become one of the leading surgeons in hip and knee replacement surgery.
“My goal is to provide comprehensive, personalized patient care with the highest level of quality and service,” Dr. Frisch says. “I have an exceptionally talented and responsive team that’s dedicated to providing our patients with incredibly focused care. We believe the overall experience is critical to success, and we’ve created a positive atmosphere and service-oriented environment for our patients.”
Dr. Frisch’s practice focuses on minimally invasive surgery, as well as complex primary and revision hip and knee replacement.
