Patient Reviews
Feb 24, 2023
I am highly disappointed and disheartened after my appointment today with Dr Franco. To be fair, overall, the appointment went well, so this review is not meant to indicate incompetence in light of Dr Franco himself per se. However, i was informed upon checking out, by the receptionist, that this was Dr Franco’s last day. First, why could Dr Franco not tell me this himself? Second, why would i even be scheduled as a new patient appointment with a doctor who is leaving…who i will only see one time? Absurd! It reflects poorly at best on his integrity and on the integrity of the hospital and scheduling department and is simply horrible practice! Further, i was supposed to have two other things done today before leaving, per Dr Franco, which the staff did NOT ensure were done: 1) chest x-ray 2) sign medical release forms. Hopefully, i will be able to be proactive enough to get these aspects completed on my next visit, which is now with a nurse practitioner. Again, very discouraged…
