The Doctor did a great job explaining everything in a way that anyone could understand. The doctors assistant did an excellent job taking the time to looking at all my information in my file (and there is a lot of info in there). She was awesome.
Well informed the Dr was very nice and his pictures were great!
PA was very thorough and answered my questions. I'm very lucky to have Dr. Franco as my physician. He has worked with me for 15yrs thru my Transplant. Thank you Dr. Franco
