I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and referred to Dr. Francke. He and his staff were very thorough, empathetic, and explained completely my situation and recommended treatment. I met with him every week during my treatments, and he was always very friendly and helpful. He was always interested in how I was doing and feeling during the radiation treatments. An excellent doctor with an excellent staff.

He was very professional and answered all my questions before treatment. He also provided statistical information on the outcome for my type of cancer with and without the radiation treatment. This was very helpful in making my decision and feeling good about my treatment. His followup has been excellent. I would highly recommend Dr. Francke.

Dr. Francke is an excellent Doctor, very informative and an extremely knowledgeable Oncologist. Many thanks to him I write this after a long and difficult battle fighting stage 4 head/neck cancer. During the 33 radiation treatments, Dr. Francke made radiation level adjustments during this process. His personal and professional attentiveness was extremely reassuring.

Dr. Francke was very kind and understanding of my health and the anxieties that accompanied it.
He listens.....he truly listens. Dr. Francke explained everything in detail, asks questions and followed up with any concerns and questions that I might have at each meeting. He makes you feel like you are his only patient.
Although this is a very difficult part of your journey in life, this doctor tries to reassure you about the process.

Yesterday was my first visit with Dr. Francke. He explained what kind of Cancer I have and gave me all the options. He did not try to push any option and answered all of my and my wife's questions fully. Based on experience with physicians, Dr. Francke spent more time with us than we had expected. When we left we had a good idea of what we were going to do and felt very confident that if we went with radiation, we would be dealing with an excellent physician.
