Dr. Gabe Frank, MD

Owner/Provider

Dr. Frank grew up in Northbrook, Illinois, and attended the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, where he earned a degree in Biology. After college, he spent three years playing professional basketball both in the United States and abroad.

Following his basketball career, Dr. Frank continued his education at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia. He then completed a fellowship in neurorehabilitation at Wake Forest Baptist Health.

Over the past several years, Dr. Frank has treated a wide range of chronic medical conditions and developed a strong interest in regenerative and anti-aging medicine. He completed advanced training through the American Academy for Anti-Aging Medicine and continues to pursue innovative therapies that support long-term wellness.

Dr. Frank also serves as an official ringside physician for professional mixed martial arts events across North Carolina, including those hosted by the UFC. He has provided medical coverage at more than 40 sanctioned fights, supporting athlete safety and performance in one of the most high-stakes environments in sports.

Through The Frank Institute, Dr. Frank provides care that addresses the root causes of illness rather than just managing symptoms. His care model is focused on restoring the body to its highest level of function by combining conventional rehabilitation with personalized, preventive, and regenerative medical strategies.

Dr. Frank offers both in-office and telehealth appointments, providing flexible access to care for patients seeking a personalized experience. Whether patients prefer visiting in person or connecting virtually, Dr. Frank ensures the same dedicated and comprehensive approach to their health and wellness.
