Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Franklin is fine, although a little didactic. Unfortunately his office will book you for extra follow-up appointments you don't need in hopes you don't question it, then bill you when you show up and realize there's no medical need, and your insurance doesn't cover it.

I loved Dr Franklin when he was at my dr office. I'm so sad that Dr. Franklin left the office. He is the best Dr.that I have ever had in my life. Dr. Franklin listen to you and is so concerned about you and he isn't afraid to show his patients the love he has for each one them. I truly miss Dr. Franklin so much and wish him the best in his journey and just wanted to say thank you for your services to me. And being more like family than just a Dr. You are the best.

I would not let him practice on a gerbil. He does not listen nor does he show compassion. He's been in 9 places in 11 years . No stable work history. Definitely don't reccomend to anyone.

The first time I saw Dr. Franklin, he talked to me for about 2 minutes. He never checked anything about me. All he had was the info the nurse provided to him. I told him the next time I saw him that my previous doctor checked my eyes, ears, nose, throat, carotid arteries, my heart and lungs each time I saw her. I asked if he would do that, and he said yes. He did. He also told me that my previous blood work showed I had Creatine in my kidneys. He wanted me to see a nephrologist, but did
