    Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

    Patient Comments

    • February 4, 2023 Very friendly and makes the patient feel comfortable. He doesn’t come across as rushed either.
    • January 26, 2023 Doctor was very nice. We are grateful for the news we got at this appointment but complete opposite of the news from the last appointment. From first appointment was forwarded on to do MRI to prepare for surgery before second appointment. At second appointment we’re told no surgery (good thing) but MRI was not needed. MRI was not cheap and we waisted the offices time and our money on unnecessary testing that should have been scheduled right after second appointment.
    • January 25, 2023 Dr. Frino and his nurse Sybil are the best!!! THE BEST!!! Dr. Frino eased my daughters concerns with his genuine kindness and attentiveness to her. It has been a year now and she is doing everything she wants to do, so his surgical skills are the best too!! We are grateful.

    The more ratings a provider receives, the more accurate and statistically reliable the data is. Providers with less than 30 ratings may not have patient ratings listed on their profiles.
