Very thorough check up. Nice bedside maker
She the best in my book.
She's always concerned about patients well being
My mother has advanced dementia. She had the same doctor at Gonzaba for many years but after she retired we were assigned to Dr. Franco. At my mother's first appointment, we were forgotten about in the exam room and left waiting well past our appointment time, then when the doctor finally came in she spent MAYBE 5 minutes with my mother, took her off of her dementia medication and prescribed her a new medication without providing any information about the new meds or what to expect or how to take it, she didn't even ask if we had any questions before she just got up and walked out of the room, never to come back in. Since stopping her previous medication and starting her new medication she's had many terrible side affects, including insomnia, restlessness and agitation. It's nearly impossible to get timely communication from the doctor about our concerns or issues with the new prescription. Because of this, we will be looking for a new PCP with a new medical group. Terrible experience.
ALWAYS COMES IN REAL FAST IN THE ROOM BARELY LET'S ME TALK
Dr Franco is very thorough in her care.
Dr Franco is now my Primary doctor. She examined me thoroughly, asking me questions to my medical condition. I was not rushed, she went over everything. I am very comfortable having her as my primary doctor
She asked if I had any questions or concerns. I didn’t have any but I did show her my upcoming exam which is for a Fibroscan for my liver. She was very professional and friendly.
Very good didn’t wait long
Was very passionate and helpful with my mom
