All staff was super nice

Dr. Franklin does not have a good manner with her new patients. If it wasn't because I feel like that she could do the job, I would have gone, and I need that location, I would have gone somewhere else and gone for a second opinion. I don't care for her personality. I don't know if that's part of the surgical experience or not, but she just does not, doesn't have a good bedside manner.

The staff at the front were very friendly and adequate. The intern was kind. The doctor had no bedside manner, was rude, and acted as though I was taking up too much of her time. I told her I had never had a rectal exam, yet she was obviously in a hurry. I told her I didn't understand her questions and yet she still acted as though she had no time. It was a terrible experience. I almost fell off the table because the nurse didn't tell me that she was coming down and what was going to happen. No... I would never visit this place again.

I felt like my provider was not personable or showed genuine concern for my issue. She did not take time to explain what she wanted to do in order to evaluate the problem and she did not offer compassion when I expressed feeling pain. I left the office without my issue being resolved and I am less inclined to return for further care. I expected the visit to relieve my concern and it unfortunately left me on my own.

Dr. Franklin does not have a good manner with her new patients. If it wasn't because I feel like that she could do the job, I would have gone, and I need that location, I would have gone somewhere else and gone for a second opinion. I don't care for her personality. I don't know if that's part of the surgical experience or not, but she just does not, doesn't have a good bedside manner.
