He's my new Primary Doc since Oct 2023. My previous one moved out of the area in July. He's easy to talk to and cares about his patients. I haven't felt rushed at any of my appointments regardless of the number of questions I might have.

Review for Dr. Banks

Why did I wait decades to invest in myself? Dr. Franklin gave me my confidence back by doing an outstanding tummy tuck. I would post my before and after pics, but it if you saw it, it would cause him to book up so much that he would never be able to see me again. He is incredible and we are so...

Review for Dr. Franklin

Very attentive and caring. Listens to concerns and offers recommendations. She is never in a hurry to get you out of her office. Very good doctor.

Review for Dr. Weeks

I had a total hip replacement 04/24/2024. I was walking within 2 weeks. He explained what my x-rays showed and explained his concerns. I followed his instructions and have yet to have any discomfort in the replacement! I recommend the procedure that he use over ALL others!
