Dr. French is great. I trust him with my care. However, he seems to, he has too many patients on his load because he's always in a rush, and oftentimes doesn't spend enough time, and he doesn't, isn't able to answer all of my questions because he has to run to the next patient. It seems to me that this is a WellSTAR problem and not a Dr. French problem, though. Dr. French is great. It's just y'all are giving him too many patients.

Dr French is always concerned about your total well-being, and shows that in every visit. We appreciate being able to have a physician that treats you as if you two have a life outside of the office. He's very professional and very well educated on and in his field. And can diagnose your symptoms to a quick and speedy recovery with treatment. And we have been trusting him for years with our well-being myself and my family!

Wait was short, receptionist was sweet, as was the nurse assistant. This was the first time seeing Dr. French and I was extremely impressed with him. He was very thorough and has a wonderful personality!! I will definitely keep him as my Pulmonologist as needed.,

This was my first visit seeing a pulmonary Dr. and Dr. French went through my medical history to try and understand my condition, and to see if there was a connection to an underlying medical condition. No other doctors very been so diligent.

Dr. French is an amazing doctor. He listens, he knows everything about you, he reads your chart, he knows everything. He is amazing and he takes everything into account when treating you. I could not highly recommend this doctor enough. He is amazing. I brought other people to him and wish every doctor were like him.

Another positive experience with a new Doctor! From front desk staff to checkout staff, everyone was friendly, positive, and welcoming. Dr F took the time to look over my past tests and results. He was very thorough, encouraging, and I left with a definite plan.

Dr. French is great. I trust him with my care. However, he seems to, he has too many patients on his load because he's always in a rush, and oftentimes doesn't spend enough time, and he doesn't, isn't able to answer all of my questions because he has to run to the next patient. It seems to me that this is a WellSTAR problem and not a Dr. French problem, though. Dr. French is great. It's just y'all are giving him too many patients.
