The minimally-invasive procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, and frequently produces less pain and results in faster healing.

Regardless of the individuals background, his primary focus is to ensure a safe and speedy recovery. In order to enhance the outcomes of those in his care, he collaborates closely with sports therapists and athletic trainers.

"Had an achilles repair in 2011. Had no follow up care. I couldn't even get through to talk to him because he doesn't talk to patients!!!! Disbelief that I couldn't follow up with him. I have never been able to run again and I suffer pain everyday. I did PT later after I realized I needed to do it on my own because Scripps literally didn't care and never told me too. He didn't call, didn't email. NOTHING. Terrible service. I literally had to Google my own care."

"Dr Fronek operated on my knee in arthroscopic fashion twice while active duty Navy. He was phenomenal. Class act. Great bed side manner and very thorough in regard to options. He was very realistic with expectations. He told me my options and was spot on. I unfortunately didn’t listen well and deployed before I should have but my knee held up for a round two after deployment and ten years later, two more surgeries on the opposite knee but his surgical sided knee is Golden. Luckily the Navy did right by me and got me one of the leading knee surgeons in the nation. Thanks Doc! -Edward"
