Patient Reviews
Sep 14, 2016
He is the only Dr. I've met that sits down & actually listens & spends time with you instead of herding you through like a herd of cattle. Thank GOD for Dr. Franks, Dr. Jim!????. Once again, he really listens & you do not leave until all of your questions are answered! Then & not until then will he refer you to someone else & then only someone he trusts & believes in! Not because the dr. He sends you to pays him the most money!!! The U.S.A. Needs more dr.s, "people" like my Dr., my friend,JIM
