We went to Dr. Donald Franklin, Jr. after seeing several other good doctors, who were not able to help us. Dr. Franklin listened carefully, was caring and thoughtful towards my husband and me. He was able to save my husband's life. I know The Lord used Dr. Franklin to bless us with healing. I thank God for Dr. Donald Franklin, Jr.. His wisdom is a gift.
