He took great care of my grandfather when he came in with the need for emergency abdominal surgery while he also had COVID.

I would like to thank Dr. Franklin for a painless surgical procedure (even after the drugs wore off), a wonderful post-surgery followup experience, and his assistance with dealing with some home healthcare issues. He went above board. It is obvious that he follows through with the care of his patients. He is a wonderful and caring professional, which is sometimes rare in this community.
