“Dr. Frandsen is a lot of fun while being very professional. I always feel comfortable and I like getting him to talk about dirt bikes or lacrosse. I’m very comfortable with Dr. F and will be recommending him to family and friends. “
Dr. Frandsen was born and raised near the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. He spent most of his time in the mountains and enjoying all Utah has to offer. He enjoyed camping, skiing and dirt biking with his Dad and three brothers. Now with three kids of his own, he enjoys teaching them to appreciate all the same activities. He has always had a passion for learning about nature and science. He also enjoyed learning and improving as he pushed his abilities on the slopes or on the lacrosse field. That drive to expand his abilities and elevate his talents, continues now in his passion for excellent dentistry. Dr. Frandsen has lived most of his life in Utah, except for 2 years serving a mission in Dallas, Texas and 2 years in Rexburg, Idaho where he finished his undergraduate studies. Since he was married, and already had 2 kids by the time he started dental school, he was grateful he could keep them all in Utah, as he attended and graduated from the prestigious, private Roseman University in South Jordan.
Awesome dentist, everyone in the office is very friendly. I have really bad anxiety, but they were so patient with me, and made me feel comfortable and calm.
