      Even though poor Dr.Franklin is swamped, she never seems rushed when she is with you. She always spends time to answer all your questions and she explains things very well. She has a great bedside manner.

      Previously had seen Dr. VanMeter who I can not say enough good about so this was my first time with Dr. Franklin and could not have been more pleased.

      Dr. Franklin seemed very knowledgeable and professional. The only complaint I have is that her voice was very soft and I am 72 years old and had some trouble hearing her. Maybe she could speak just a little louder when she has older patients.
