Doctor Franklin done a UroNav prostate biopsy on me. I was pleasantly surprised with no pain after waking up. I had very little discomfort just a little burning sensation near my testicles for a few hours. The gland was just a little sensitive at times afterwards. I was very satisfied and do recommend him to other patients for this procedure. I have no other experience with this doctor but believe his is a good doctor.

He is a great doctor. Good bedside manners. Very professional yet very personable. I wouldn't go to any other doctor for my kidney stones.

A great doctor who actually saved my life with a quick and accurate diagnosis of kidney cancer. Just a great guy all the way around. Appointments are tough and expect to be rescheduled before you see him. Highly recommended.

Dr. Franklin is down to earth and explains what's wrong and how he's going to address the problem in plain English. He takes time to answer all your questions and not make you feel rushed. The office staff is efficient and friendly.
