I have been with Dr Franz for years. He is always thoughtful, caring, friendly and extremely thorough. He takes the extra time with all of his patients to make sure that you know exactly what to expect. He has a team that feels more like family. From the reception desk all the way to Dr Franz. Part of his team is Clay [last name], whom I feel like is an old friend instead of just someone that takes care of my problems. He is thorough, caring, understanding, thoughtful, I could go on. One of the nurses that is fairly new to me, Lea, is so sweet, kind, caring, knowledgeable and what she doesn't know, she finds out for you and gets back to you in a very reasonable amount of time. I can't think of everyone's names but they all are excellent.
What could have been done to improve this visit?
Absolutely nothing, they are perfect the way they are.
