    Provider was assigned to me after Dr Weiss retired. I was told I did not have a choice in provider choice. The provider, Dr Franklin, did not come in the room until 1 1/2 hours after my scheduled appointment. Not once apologized for the lateness.

    Dr Franklin has been excellent with regard to my medical health records and history. He has treated me for migraine headaches and discussed approaches for insomnia. Honestly, he has changed my life with his expertise. My headaches are under control and sleep is improving. I highly respect his knowledge and advice.

    Dr Franklin was very considerate to explain things for me, answer questions and offer an ongoing plan. I felt heard and understood and came away with new ideas. Between the time taken and the great visit notes, I fully believe Dr Franklin is a caring, detail-oriented care provider, whom I can trust.
