Very straightforward, doesn’t talk down to you, gives multiple options and lets you ask questions to make sure you understand what’s happening and are comfortable. Chose Franz over another Doctor and happy so far.
Very pleased!
She is professional and competent. She is very easy to talk to and is willing to take the time to explain things. Jordon was also very competent and professional also.
Very professional, kind,caring and compassionate.. Would definitely recommend.
Very thorough in explaining my x-rays to me and answering my questions. She has a friendly demeanor and a calming smile. I felt at ease.
Looked at my joints and worked out a plan to start healing. Did a steroid shot to relieve pain and started pt. Very happy with the visit. .
Professional, effective, and efficient.
Dr. Frantz was great. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Provided options and advice.
maybe she started off the morning in a bad mood, but this is the first time meeting her and she came across terrible. I went to her for a second opinion meanwhile she talked to me like I was an idiot and she didn’t know me from Adam. Maybe she had preconceived notions of why I was there.She came across real brash. I was looking forward to meeting her also because she was recommended and I loved Dr. Melhorn
Pleasant, knowledgeable, honest, intelligent, explained, showed on X-ray what it meant, appreciated her being upfront what my options were. It wasn’t what I wanted to hear; however, it was realistic.
