Dt. De Frino did an excellent job explaining the surgical procedure necessary to correct my foot. He answered questions... patiently and thoroughly. From the initial appointment, x-rays, surgery, and post-op, everything was timely and efficient. I was a very reluctant patient and 11 days after the surgery, I am eager to have the other foot corrected. I highly recommend Dr. DeFrino. He is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle problems. more details
