Dr Franco was not only respectful, she took the time to educate me about my meds for RLS as no one ever had..,EVRR.. From the minute she opened her mouth, I learned things I never knew as no one took the time. In the past, mt medication was upped which created augmentation and rebound. Dr Franco is helping me wean off both the drugs I had been on for years. This is an excellent Dr.

Dr Franco is not only a great doctor but also is very easy to talk to about what's going on. I've had other doctors where they have talked over me or made me feel dumb when I ask questions of things I don't understand. She may not like this but it's kind of like a phone call to my mom. Comforting.

I was totally uneducated in my new diagnosed illness and I learned so much about how this illness effects other conditions that I have. such an eye opener and was excited about pursuing my solution to my illness. The doctor inspired me in the solution I was not happy about.

Thorough knowledge and expertise. Critical review of medical history and testing. Testing ordered by this provider and completed prior to the 3 month survey window. Referrals to determine extent of collateral health issues.
