I worked for this provider for 10 years as his nurse practitioner. I thought that he was a great provider. I needed help with my diagnosis of PPMS. I needed a gatekeeper. I had to have paperwork completed for my long term disability to continue with it. The long term disability was my source of income. I had to have paperwork for my case for social security disability income also. I did not ask for PPMS and the complications. The provider stated “ All I am is someone to complete disability paperwork. How do I know that you really have the symptoms. Your symptoms are subjective. You say that you are short of breath. How do I know that you have fallen.” These are a few of his statements. I had documentation of my spirometry results decreasing. I had documentation of my speech issues. I gave it to his medical assistant. She was supposed to copied it to my chart. I had approximately 10 pages of results of the voice results per a speech pathologist. She returned it to me in minutes. I am unsure if the provider reviewed it or not. He had results of the evoked potentials showing a disconnect of my brain to the left leg. No we did not have any patients with multiple sclerosis while I was employed with him for 10 years, but I do wonder if this was a higher clientele, family or friend if he would researched multiple sclerosis. He discharged me for a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. I have the discharge letter to prove it. I was not a drug seeker, did not miss appointments or rude to his staff. I was very hurt by his accusations of faking my symptoms of PPMS. I understand about completing paperwork for disability, but it was my job. He did not have any suggestions for a provider either. Thank God that the speech pathologist knew of someone to take over my care of a gatekeeper. So if you have a common diagnosis, he can handle that, but if you do not, do not consider him.

Dr. Franklin has been my GP for over ten years, and he's the best doc I've ever had. His knowledge is exceptional, he's extremely compassionate and spends as much time with each patient as needed to address every complicated issue, and he goes the extra mile to make sure that each patient gets the absolute best care possible. He's like Marcus Welby, for those old enough to get the reference. Four generations of my family have gone to him, as once my mom started seeing him, she started taking my grandmother, her husband, then me, and I insisted that my daughter change so that she sees him now, too. His staff is fabulous, too, from the nurses to his PAs. I often see a PA, and she brings him in as needed - no matter what, when I go to Dr. Franklin's office, I've been very well cared for, as has the rest of my family! Dr. Franklin is absolutely the best! :)
