    My visits with Dr. Franklin are excellent! He always has taken his time to review how my medical treatment he gives me is helping me. I feel fortunate that he is my neurologist.

    Dr. Michael Franklin is extremely knowledgeable and walked me through all the different possibilities and tests related to my health condition. There were a few times in the beginning he cut me off while talking, HOWEVER, it was always with relevant information and by the end of the appointment, I felt extremely heard and like he was one of the first doctors to be realistic with me and actually listen to me without judgment or making assumptions without labs to back it up.
