Dr. Franco has been my Primary Doctor for over 25 years and he has one main concern - He cares for me and my health. He is a sole practitioner, who spends a great deal of personal time when meeting patients. Dr Franco has a great depth of medical knowledge who goes the ultimate length to diagnose a health problem. I can whole heartily recommend Dr. Franco.

Dr. Franco is the most Compassionate doctor I've ever met. He is very thorough with getting to the root of the problem. Requests tests no one else would think of. He's my doctor for life. Recommended for all!

I'm surprised that he is still practicing with the staff he employs, as they're completely inept in caring for his patients!!!

Dr. Franco calls me weekends and nights to check how I am doing (when I start a new medication). I have been to several doctors who told me nothing was wrong with me. (I guess they thought it was all in my head) Dr. Franco has taken the time to listen to me. He has figured out what is wrong and is working on making me better.

Dr. Franco treats his patients like family. Becoming his patient is one of the best things to happen to me in years! I need back surgery and because of him and his refferals to other doctors; they as a team have kept me from "going under the knife" as they call it which is something I'm petrified to do and I've been able to live a normal life under his care. I would reccomend him to just about anyone whose looking for a caring and compassionate doctor with an A+ staff.

I had been to several doctors who told me 'nothing was really wrong ... eat better, exercise more". I still hurt all the time and was tired. friend told me about dr franco. He ordered a LOT of blood work ...but figured out I had a type of arthritis (sjogrens?) He sent me to a rheumatologist who confirmed the reason I felt so terrible. I still have some bad days but am so much better. I learned i could have gotten much worse with Dr. franco figuring out what was wrong. I recommend him to anyone who has been told that everything is "all in your head". Thank you Dr. Franco

I began seeing Dr. Franco more than 10 years ago. Dr. Franco is perhaps the most caring and compationate Doctor I have been to. When I was laid off from work he offered to see me without charging (Not medicare - free). I did not take him up on the offer - but it was an awsome gesture. He has been very kind to me and always seemed to genuinly care about my health and well being.

A friend referred me to Dr. Franco becasue he said he really cared about her as a person, not just a patient. I went to him and found him to be very caring and even figured out why I was tired all the time -- something with my thyroid. I feel much better now and am lucky tohave such a smart and nice doctor
