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.

We went to Dr. Donald Franklin, Jr. after seeing several other good doctors, who were not able to help us. Dr. Franklin listened carefully, was caring and thoughtful towards my husband and me. He was able to save my husband's life. I know The Lord used Dr. Franklin to bless us with healing. I thank God for Dr. Donald Franklin, Jr.. His wisdom is a gift.

He went over my biopsy slides one by one explaining what we were looking at and what it ment for my transplanted kidney. I feel blessed to have a caring physician who has a teaching heart. He truly wants the patient to participate in their own care.
