Dr Franco is very thorough and excellent at explaining the plan of care and why that is her plan as well as including you in it.She doesn't rush you. She is very compassionate.
Dr Franco explained everything in a way we could understand. Answered all our questions. Ordered a nebulizer with a compressor & medication. She also ordered a vest for treatment but have not received that. She also ordered an overnight sleep test which I have to call the sleep lab back & set up
Dr Rose Franco is an awesome communicator and listener.
Dr Franco is the best. Her time is in high demand and yet she consistently makes herself available either personally or through her nurses. She treats me like a true partner in my care, but doesn't sugar coat facts that need to be addressed.
Dr referred me to a Dr for further help with my sinus issues of which I am grateful.
Knowledgeable physician who really listens to my questions & concerns. Helps develop a plan for success.
Excellent care. Dr Franco knew my history with other providers. She helped me in just one visit. Sleeping better. Thank you.
She was very professional, answered all my questions and explained the "plan" very well!.
Dr. Franco was wonderful. She is a very kind and caring doctor. I will certainly recommend her.The only issue, of course, is the time it took to get an appointment. A problem I'm sure you are aware of across the board and is effecting everyone in the medical profession. It in no way takes away from how much I liked Dr. Franco.
