I liked the dr, but the nurse was horrible and made me feel embarrassed. She explained nothing, and had such a cold disposition. I would recommend someone to practice for her, but because of the nurse absolutely not.

September 25, 2026

I did not get any information on caring for myself after my procedure. I have to reach out several times to get ahold of someone with questions. I did not feel taken seriously and felt like just another number.

The front staff was very friendly at the check and desk. Also the lady who got my vitals was really sweet. Dr. Franklin was awesome. She explained everything on what I need to do to help me with my symptoms. She also gave me options to look forward to and if they don't work she gave me a plan. Really nice to have doctors who care. Thanks a lot Dr.Franklin

I LOVE my doctor! Dr. Franklin and I just match!! I believe she tells it like it is, when some of my doctors do not.

There was no place to park. They didn't have enough handicap parking for a van accessible wheelchair van and it was very difficult to get into the building from the parking lot. We had to wait a really long time.

June 13, 2026

This was a very uncomfortable visit. I was expecting to a surgical consultation. An exam was performed without any explanation of what to expect. The Dr showed no compassion and seemed somewhat bothered when I asked questions. I am not comfortable continuing care with her.

The doctor advised me about the invasive options available to me, but didn't dive into how I could conservatively try to fix my problems. She did not engage greatly with my overall colorectal situation, so that was disappointing. Would have been nice for more concern to be shown about my current and future colorectal health.

Dr. Ashanti saved my life. Very thankful for her.

I had a very positive experience during this appointment with Dr. Franklin. She was extremely thorough and took the time to clearly explain my condition, treatment options, and next steps. She answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed and had a very charismatic and approachable manner that helped put me at ease during what could have been an uncomfortable experience overall. I would also like to recognize the medical assistant, Angela. She was professional, respectful, and attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable as well throughout the entire visit. I did not feel uncomfortable at any point. Overall, the care provided by Dr. Franklin and her team was excellent, and I truly appreciated how supportive and reassuring the experience was. Also forgot to mention her physician Assistant Bailey was also very polite & kind and her medical assistant as well, but didn't have the time to do the last survey .

I haven't had the procedure yet. or I would have given her a 10. I will say, I saw the PA first, and I actually thought I was getting a procedure done with the Dr. I wound up having a basically identical visit to what I had with the PA. In the future, if a procedure is a possible outcome, I will just wait until I can get an appointment with the doctor the FIRST time. I'm on Medicare Supplement, so no co-pay, or I would have been upset to have basically identical visits.

This was a very uncomfortable visit. I was expecting to a surgical consultation. An exam was performed without any explanation of what to expect. The Dr showed no compassion and seemed somewhat bothered when I asked questions. I am not comfortable continuing care with her.

There was no place to park. They didn't have enough handicap parking for a van accessible wheelchair van and it was very difficult to get into the building from the parking lot. We had to wait a really long time.

I LOVE my doctor! Dr. Franklin and I just match!! I believe she tells it like it is, when some of my doctors do not.

The front staff was very friendly at the check and desk. Also the lady who got my vitals was really sweet. Dr. Franklin was awesome. She explained everything on what I need to do to help me with my symptoms. She also gave me options to look forward to and if they don't work she gave me a plan. Really nice to have doctors who care. Thanks a lot Dr.Franklin

The wait time over 1 hour prevents any positive feedback.

I liked the dr, but the nurse was horrible and made me feel embarrassed. She explained nothing, and had such a cold disposition. I would recommend someone to practice for her, but because of the nurse absolutely not.

I did not get any information on caring for myself after my procedure. I have to reach out several times to get ahold of someone with questions. I did not feel taken seriously and felt like just another number.
