Dr. Franklin is a very caring and compassionate person. He has been my doctor for many years and has always kept me in good health. At the moment I am successfully fighting down diabetes with his excellent advice and clear explanations I am very grateful to and for Dr Franklin!

I've been with Dr. Franklin's office for several years. I had a telemedicine appointment with him this week. His staff made sure everything went smoothly, I got all my questions answered, and Dr. Franklin addressed all my concerns. His staff promptly sent out orders and referrals and scheduled a follow-up appointment. A great experience.

Dr. Franklin is amazing. As soon as I sent him a text about a pain in my leg, I received a phone call from his office wanting to schedule a visit in the afternoon of the same day. My husband and I moved to PG at the beginning of this year. It usually took us to get an appointment with our doctor before our move. We are very grateful that we have found Dr. Franklin who has provided us with such excellent services and shown tremendous care towards us.

Dr. Franklin himself was very kind and made aware of my concerns. He got right on it and said "Let's get to the bottom of this". Perfect! He scheduled me there on the spot and it took 1 day to get all the appts. I needed. Thank you all very much.
