Dr. Franklin was thorough, professional, and straightforward with all the information related to my surgery. This increased my level of confidence in her care. My overall initial impression from her was "I got this." In other words, she has the experience and expertise to consider every aspect of my surgery.

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.
