Dr Franklin is the best. I love her smile, positive attitude, caring and her respect for me.

March 15, 2026

Dr Franklin was a breath of fresh air in the medical field. She was knowledgeable and compassionate and so generous with her time with me. I felt truly cared for. Thank you, Dr Franklin. The office staff, nurse and phlebotomist who attended me were amazing as well. I left my appointment feeling so grateful for finding Dr Franklin.

It was an overall amazing experience from the time I walked in and was greeted by the receptionist to the time I left. Everyone I came in contact with made me feel good at a time when I wasn't feeling my best. Shanessa and Dr Franklin were amazing. They took their time and explained everything to me. They listened to what I had to say. I really appreciate the and can say I'm sticking with them.

I'm delighted to report Dr Karensa Franklin is the best, most caring, attentive PCP I have had in all of my 78 years of age. I've had a few totally exceptional specialists, but not one PCP To compare with her. I see personal care physicians as first line of defense in treating the whole person. The one who starts the ball rolling toward healing and restoration when health problems arise. Dr Franklin is Knowledgeable, sincere, down to earth real, with good common sense in treating me as a whole person, not a number with a list of health issues. Her entire staff is amazing! To me, that shows good leadership and wisdom choosing each employee to carefully fit in her/his position in her practice. I am truly grateful to be under her watch! ??

February 27, 2026

Dr.Franklin was very attentive and sympathetic to my concerns, feelings and needs. She really gave me the feeling that she was " "listening" to all of my concerns.

February 21, 2026

February 12, 2026

All the staff were very attentive and friendly from check in to check out. Dr. Franklin was very kind and candid. She seemed to care and was not rushed as most Drs are. Clean facilities. The location is as easy to find and plenty of parking.

February 8, 2026

5

Dr. Carinsa Franklin is an outstanding medical provider. Her staff is professional. They are all attentive. We started there with my husband as a patient in 2025. I have since started seeing that practice and most recently we have referred our parents.

February 7, 2026

5

Dr. Franklin is truly a compassionate and thorough physician. She made me feel comfortable, listened attentively to my concerns, and explained everything in a clear and thoughtful way. I never felt rushed, and I left the appointment feeling informed and cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a primary care provider who genuinely cares.

February 6, 2026

Dr. Franklin was fantastic! It has taken me 10 years to find a PCP I like and I have found one now. The staff was amazing to work with as well. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I look forward to coming to this practice for my medical needs for year to come.

Wow! I visited Dr. Franklin for the very first time after my primary care Wellstar physician was transferred to another location, and I was extremely nervous about changing doctors. My previous doctor had challenged me to take better care of my health-and I did. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by Dr. Franklin's assistant, who was incredibly kind and welcoming and immediately set the tone for the visit. When I met Dr. Franklin, I was truly impressed by how kind, caring, competent, and attentive she was. She listened carefully, showed genuine concern, and made it clear that she was focused on providing the best possible care. Most importantly, she also challenged me to take responsibility for my own health-and I appreciated that. I left the appointment feeling encouraged and excited about my health journey, which now includes both nutritional and medical care. I'm motivated to show improvement at my follow-up visit in 30 days. Thank you, Wellstar, and thank you so much, Dr. Franklin. Please don't transfer! ?

I'm delighted to report Dr Karensa Franklin is the best, most caring, attentive PCP I have had in all of my 78 years of age. I've had a few totally exceptional specialists, but not one PCP To compare with her. I see personal care physicians as first line of defense in treating the whole person. The one who starts the ball rolling toward healing and restoration when health problems arise. Dr Franklin is Knowledgeable, sincere, down to earth real, with good common sense in treating me as a whole person, not a number with a list of health issues. Her entire staff is amazing! To me, that shows good leadership and wisdom choosing each employee to carefully fit in her/his position in her practice. I am truly grateful to be under her watch! ??

Wow! I visited Dr. Franklin for the very first time after my primary care Wellstar physician was transferred to another location, and I was extremely nervous about changing doctors. My previous doctor had challenged me to take better care of my health-and I did. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly greeted by Dr. Franklin's assistant, who was incredibly kind and welcoming and immediately set the tone for the visit. When I met Dr. Franklin, I was truly impressed by how kind, caring, competent, and attentive she was. She listened carefully, showed genuine concern, and made it clear that she was focused on providing the best possible care. Most importantly, she also challenged me to take responsibility for my own health-and I appreciated that. I left the appointment feeling encouraged and excited about my health journey, which now includes both nutritional and medical care. I'm motivated to show improvement at my follow-up visit in 30 days. Thank you, Wellstar, and thank you so much, Dr. Franklin. Please don't transfer! ?
