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
July 11, 2025

Dr. Franklin was kind, answered any questions or concerns I had and was very patience with me. I would recommend her highly. Just cause im older, alot of doctors act like they don't have the time for me. She took all the time I needed.

The board in the reception area said the doctor was "on time." If 45 minutes later is considered on tine, I can only imagine if she'd been late

Wait time of 40+ minutes because staff had not asked referring doctor for records. Support staff excellent in finding a next day appointment for a cat scan.
