Staff is great
All the staff who attended me were very attentive, both the doctor and the nurses and the workers at the check-in and check-out desks.
Dr. Frangie is the best! Once he was notified by my primary care doctor of my issue, I was seen promptly and had hip replacement. Recovery went well and I appreciate all the nurses and staff. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful.
Dr. Frangie and Anna Nye, his medical assistant, I think it is, come very highly recommended from me. I feel like, and I've had other doctors within UT Health, but I feel like Dr. Frangie goes above and beyond. He actually takes the time to follow through with his patient from beginning to end. And anything that happens within that timeframe, and he addresses it, and he tells you the care plan and what you should do. I mean, I'm very, very pleased. And I actually wish I would have came upon him for my first initial surgery and steady him to fix the first surgery from a UT doctor. But highly recommended. I am very impressed and very pleased.
Dr. Frangie has been great through all phases of my hip recovery, which had some unexpected events.
Wait time was too long and no one explained why the wait time was so long. I saw people come in after me and get taken to the back and no one acknowledged that I was there waiting almost an hour, maybe a little bit more.
Best doctor
All people were professional
Dr. Frangie is amazing. He is kind, extremely knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. Great doctor and I would recommend him highly to my friends and family.
Waited a long time wiithout explanation
Doctor was very detailed and a great listener. Very impressed.
It was a very friendly and helpful place.
He answered all my questions, gave me ideas and feedback as to what's to come and what to expect. He was very nice, very courteous. He's been that way from the beginning. The staff is very nice, and I get in and out at a pretty good speed. I like the UT system very much. Right now, I can't think of anything else that they can do differently that they're not already done. Thank you for your time.
I appreciate that everyone was considerate of my time.
Excellent Care
Great experience!
Great experience, very professional. Taken to office, nurse went over current medications and general health or concerns. Taken to X-rays, then doctor came in promptly and reviewed results, quick exam and asked questions. Provided me with info on exercises.
It was a very good experience.
Ever since the first time we started coming to the Bellaire location in October 2024 to now February 25, 2025, my mom and I have nothing but great things to say about everyone we have come in contact with from the check in and out ladies and gentleman, the X-ray techs, the MA'S/nurses, and also Dr. R. Frangie. Everyone has always made us feel like family. Thank you each and everyone for all your time, effort, and hard work. May God continue blessing you All!!!
Really enjoyed meeting the doctor! Very kind and very knowledgeable! I continue to follow up with him on all my reports and CAT scan as soon As they I can get scheduled in my hometown, Of victoria, Texas.
He was very professional, and I didn't have to take additional x-rays. He gave me exercises that would help in a speedy recovery. I was there for problems with my knee, however, it is good to know that he also specializes in hip problems. I made a very good choice. Thank you, Dr Frangie.
Dr. Frangie was tentative to my son. He made sure to figure out the issue and guide us through.
Everything went well, thank you.
This was my first time seeing this provider & I learned a lot about my problem & how he can fix it.
Wonderful doctor!

The Doctor gave me options and let me decide on the path for my knee.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the outstanding care provided by the entire team and particuparly Dr Frangie, from the start to the finishing or my treatment. Your expertise compassion and dedication made all the difference in my recovery period thank you for your kindness and your skills to get me back on my feet again. God bless you!
I love this Doctor and all work there
The only concern was the nurse. For the therapy script she typed the wrong side to provide therapy on. I manually changed it - hoping Methodist Osteopathic will accept the correction.
