We absolutely love Dr Franklin, due to changes in our insurance we had to change providers for sometime but once we were able to add our kids to my husband's insurance plan we came right back to him.

Dr Cale Franklin is the best of the best. He is the reason we continue to come to this office. We feel so lucky to have him as our pediatrician. After having my primary care appointment cancelled the morning of here, he is the opposite and really cares about his patients. I wish he could be my doctor!
