Provider Explained Things ClearlyProvider Listened CarefullyProvider Was Easy To UnderstandProvider Knew Medical HistoryProvider Showed RespectProvider Spent Enough TimeRate Your Provider 0-10178 Reviews, 51 Comments6/17/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientHe always answers every question I have6/5/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientThe doctor was excellent at asking, detailed questions and truly listening to my entire health experience That was related to the concern I was coming in for. You can tell that the doctor is extremely intelligent, and for someone else who gets overwhelmed by medical information that could come across as overwhelming in some of the conversations as he explains things. However, it was not unreasonable, anyone would still be able to follow because the important things are still very clearly explained. And personally, I was able to keep up and truly appreciated Lots of explanation from the doctor.6/1/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Franklin is by far the best doctor that I have had for anything in my lifetime. There are not enough good things that I can say about him.5/8/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Franklin is very thorough5/1/2026 | BayCare Verified PatientVery thoughtful about my complex situation. Clearly up to date on latest therapeutic options.
