Patient Reviews
Mar 08, 2024
Dr. Franko took time with us during my mother’s appointments with him to explain options and risks clearly. He was very caring and kind, and made sure all of our questions were answered! He was personable and although he gave us his recommendation was very clear that my mother was in charge of the medical choices that were being made regarding her care. I would highly recommend him to anyone who might find themselves in need of an oncology surgeon!
