I cannot recommend Dr. Frykman enough. At seven months old, my son needed three procedures done, and a fourth one done when he turned one. I was beyond scared and nervous but Dr. Frykman thoroughly explained everything he would be doing during surgery and reassured me that all would be okay. He was very patient, knowledgeable, professional and attentive. He performed the procedures meticulously and we were given timely updates. Dr. Frykman is one of a kind and I would highly recommend him.

As I was scrolling through yelp for a new pediatrician, I came across Dr Frykman. While he only does surgeries, I just had to leave a review because he saved my son 11 years ago. When my boy was 7mo old, he developed an anal fistula. No one including children’s hospital would operate. They just wanted me to feed him antibiotics until he turned 1. We found Dr Frykman who was at Cedars at the time. He saw us immediately and operated on my son the next day. He treated us with care and compassion. I truly believe he saved my child or at least his immune system. I never wrote a review back then but I had to write one now. I’m so happy he is close to my home now in case of emergencies with the kids. Trust this man!!

Going to the emergency room at Los Robles Hospital for my daughter for the first time was a frightening experience, but upon meeting Dr. Frykman, our fears were drastically alleviated.
Dr. Frykman is an incredible pediatric surgeon who is knowledgeable beyond compare as well as one of the most friendliest doctors that we know. He patiently walked us through the entire diagnosis and surgery process and answered all of our questions and concerns. In fact, during the recovery period after the surgery, he even visited my daughter at the hospital everyday (including the weekends too!)
I highly recommend Dr. Frykman since he has been our doctor for months now, I couldn’t be more satisfied!

Dr Frykman is top notch. He fixed our little girl up after her appendix ruptured. His experience showed in conversation before surgery and after. Fantastic and reassuring to speak with, set expectations with aspects of recovery. He came in daily to check on her and discuss where she is at. You can tell he actually cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone.

Following Dr. Frykman from Cedar Sinai to Los Robles Hospital & Medical Center was one of the smartest things we did for our son.
Dr. Frykman has been following our son for 10 years, and we have been very happy with him. He recently performed abdominal surgery on our son. He has great communication skills, he listens to questions and concerns, and most importantly, the procedure and recuperation went very smoothly.
Roxanne, his assistant, is friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to insurance issues.
We have the utmost trust in Dr. Frykman and recommend him highly.

I had brought my 5 week old son (at the time) to see Doctor Frykman back in January after he was recommended to us by our primary pediatrician. The issue my son had had been a persistent issue for a few weeks at that point. First off I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly we were able to get into see Doctor Frykman, and I loved how he took the time to explain what was causing my sons’s issue and the corrective actions options we had available to us. My son ended up needing surgery but Doctor Frykman was amazing and reassured us and walked us through how the procedure would go and even came back after the procedure when we had a concern about my son. Long story short: Doctor Frykman is incredible and I highly recommend him and his office.

Dr Frykman did emergency appendectomy on my 14 year old daughter and I can not say enough good about him! His bedside manner, his technical expertise, his follow up and his accessibility with issues are top notch. He is everything that is good in medicine and a rarity in his field. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Philip Frykman! He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced and competent. From our very first appointment I appreciated that Dr. Frykman patiently explained my son’s condition and the steps we needed to correct it. He took the time to listen to all of our questions and concerns and never made us feel rushed. When the time came for our sons surgery we were understandable nervous and he was very reassuring and kept my son calm explaining each step as it was happening. Dr. Frykman did an amazing job and my son’s surgery and recovery were text book perfect!
He has a wonderful bedside manner too. Always very kind and compassionate! He came to the hospital everyday to examine my son in the hospital and see how he was doing and after my son was released and recovering at home he made follow up calls to check on his progress. I have never had any other doctor be so caring. His office is nicely decorated and his staff are very warm, friendly and helpful too. It has been an incredibly positive experience and I would highly recommend Dr. Frykman to anyone looking for excellent medical care for their children! There are no words to describe how grateful and blessed we feel to have found such an amazing doctor!

I want to thank Dr. Phillip Frykman for the kind, compassionate, and thorough care that he provided our son with the gallbladder surgery he performed recently. He spent much time explaining the surgical procedure in layman’s terms with much patience and undivided attention to our concerns and questions. Dr. Frykman’s excellent bedside manners, and his extensive knowledge put my son and I at ease. We also appreciate his returning our phone calls and following up after our son’s surgery with a phone call to check on his condition.
We would also like to thank his office staff, Roxanne, for being courteous, helpful, and always willing to accommodate us into Dr. Frykman’s busy schedule.
Dr. Frykman is the surgeon I would highly recommend to all our family members and friends. We feel very blessed to have found him, and are eternally grateful to him for all he has done for us. Dr. Frykman is a great physician and the very best surgeon. He deserves a 20 star rating.
