Dr. Frank is originally from the Fox Valley Area and graduated from Menasha High School. After living in the Madison, WI and Lansing, MI he and his family have finally returned to the valley. Dr Frank's and his wife Shelby (who is also from the Fox Valley) have two children, April and Leah, as well as a collection of cats.

Dr. Frank would like to bring the level of surgery in veterinary medicine to the same level as it is in human medicine. Dr. Frank has a strong interest in minimally-invasive surgery techniques and has been trained extensively in laparoscopy, minimally- invasive fracture repair, and to a lesser degree in arthroscopy. Thoracoscopy is another area of interest that Dr. Frank has recently become involved with.

In his time away from the clinic, he enjoys spending time with family and friends. He also likes to spend time in the outdoors hunting, fishing, and camping. He is also an avid barbeque enthusiast and hopes to one day attain the title of "pit-master".
