Dr. French did nothing to help my mother who was misdiagnosed even with a known past history. Any intelligent, caring doctor would of done early screening. She passed her on to physical therapy! Find another doctor quickly. She is terrible and untrustworthy. My mother pleaded with this doctor to find out what is going on. At that point, my mother had to work with the assistant on beginning further testing! This doctor did more of a disservice. Doesn’t even deserve a single star.

Dr. French is a straight to the point Dr. If you are active and serious about your health care and wanting results she is your doctor. I really appreciate her attention to all detail and follow up because I get anxious going to the Dr. she makes it fast friendly and it almost seems that she knows just how anxious I get she does not see me if it is not necessary.

Dr. French is wonderful. I have been uninsured or under insured for a very long time and despite the restrictions on what I can afford she has always given excellent care no matter what I needed. She listens and you are made to feel understood.Highly recommend her.
