Patient Reviews
Feb 18, 2022
I love Dr. Franco. He is an excellent surgeon--did surgery on a torn rotator cuff for me. He is also a kind, caring doctor--not that typical in a surgeon. He is one of the rare ones. Today I saw someone else in that practice for an urgent issue. Thee difference was immediately apparent. I won't make that mistake again.
