“Dr. Frimpong at SpineMed Specialists is an excellent doctor. After having a spinal cord stimulator placed in my back, my pain went from a 7 every day to a 1! The care from Dr. Frimpong and his team has been outstanding. This was my 4th back surgery and by far the best experience. I would recommend him to anyone with back problems.”

“Dr. Frimpong spent a lot of time with me explaining my problem, showing me the problem on my MRI, and explaining what was to be done to correct the problem. He has always been concerned about how I’m doing and never rushes during my appointment. Have enjoyed meeting him and working with him.”
