Dr Franklin is always honest and straightforward but does so in a caring way. She basically saved my quality of life and I'll always be grateful to her for that.

From the opening of the door everyone was courteous and helpful. Dr. Franklin made my son and I extremely confident with her knowledge and explanation of the whole procedure. I left with the assurance all will be with a great outcome.

While I arrived earlier than the 15-minutes-early that MyChart requests, I did not see the doctor until 1hr 15 minutes after my appointment time with no explanation at all. Not a good first impression for a new patient.

I didn't feel as though the doctor wanted to fix my issue. She repeatedly told me how it would be painful. I felt like she just wanted to wait and see if I wanted to have surgery.

The stuff at the front desk they are rude. You call them and they don't give you a call back plus they be given unnecessary comments the you don't even ask them ( The only two people the treat me with respect was the doctor and her nurse everyone else was rude and show attitude
