Dr. Frykman cares for patients from prenatal consultation and newborn procedures through adolescent chest wall and abdominal surgery. He uses laparoscopic and small-incision techniques wherever they are the safest choice, which generally means less pain, smaller scars and a faster return to normal activity.
He works closely with pediatricians and other specialists so families are not left acting as the go-between, takes the time to explain each option in plain language, and stays involved through follow-up until a child is fully back to normal.
Dr. Frykman's research centers on Hirschsprung disease and Hirschsprung-associated enterocolitis, including the role of the neural crest in immune development, alongside minimally invasive approaches in pediatric surgery. His work has been published in peer-reviewed surgical journals and presented to international audiences.
Dr. Frykman cares for infants, children and adolescents who need surgical evaluation or treatment, with an emphasis on minimally invasive approaches. To arrange a consultation, call (310) 861-7493 or filling out the contact form, and our team will help arrange a time.
