Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

A Trusted Doctor for Over 20 Years
I have been seeing Dr. Daniel J. Franklin since I was a kid, over 20 years now, and I can honestly say he is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is incredibly smart, kind, and always takes the time to listen and explain everything in a way that makes you feel comfortable and confident in your care.Dr. Franklin has helped me through every stage of life with ENT issues, and I would not trust anyone else. He is not only a brilliant doctor but also a genuinely sweet person who truly cares about his patients. I am so grateful to have had him in my corner all these years. Highly, highly recommend!

A credit to his profession!!
Dr. Franklin is “old school” and by that I mean that he is a doctor who entered the medical profession at a time when the patient was considered a human being not just a number. He takes his time. He doesn’t rush. He cares for his patients by listening to their “complaints” and tries to come up with the best solution to treat the problem. If that solution doesn’t work, he suggests other options. I hope he stays around for a long time. I would highly recommend him!

We trust him 300% , Doctor Franklin will always be our number one choice of ENT’s. Sincerely Mrs. B.Coyne & The B.Coyne Family.

I've gone to Dr Franklin for 20 yrs. He's the best. However, with the Rosewood ENT new group it's total discombobulation. I waited in another office today for 50 minutes and never saw the doctor. I asked for my nurse twice and she never returned either. I left! The front desk doesn't answer calls for 27 min, I called back and held for 22 minutes. The front desk is a debacle.
