Amanda knows her job.

Excellent provider and worth the wait

Jul 15, 2026
I’m happy Dr Franchese is supportive of my goals to lose weight to experience life without a sleep apnea machine. Happy Dr Franchese monitors my sleep pattern usage, the machine still provides me with the best sleep.

Amanda Francese is a total professional, explains processes and procedures, and answers questions. It is always a good back-and-forth dialogue. I never feel rushed and have always been seen promptly, with no long wait times, as I experience in other offices. I highly recommend Amanda Francese.

She seemed genuinely concerned for my well being.

Mar 19, 2026
This was my first visit with her ever. What a great visit ! I mentioned I had a close contact that had talked to me about using a much more comfortable "appliance" instead of the combersom "CPAP" system. She explained that my condition was much to serve and the appliance wouldn't work for me ! Then explained why .. Needless to say I left the office e impressed !

Amanda is great she took the time to help me. She listened to everything I told her and documented it and she explained future help that she could offer me. And it was heartfelt.

Nov 26, 2025
I liked very much that she was not only kind yet professional...she made sure I left the appointment with my questions answered and explained all info and tips for better cpap therapy as well as light hypervigilant sleep issues.

Nov 25, 2025
I made an appointment, arrived on time, then was made to wait while the provider fit in the person accompaning the previous patient then apologizing for for the wait due to an "unexpected 2 for 1". Making scheduled patients wait while seeing unscheduled in a non emergency situation is not acceptable.

Very very pleasant and kind

Kind, Thorough, Knowledgeable and Timely care. Amanda checks all the boxes.

This was my first time seeing Amanda Francese (my previous provider has retired). Amanda was wonderful and quite informative. I had several questions about my treatment and possible other treatments, and she answered everything in clear, understandable terms. I look forward to seeing Amanda Francese in the coming years.
