Patient Reviews
What our patients say
Our 10 year-old son and I had an extremely pleasant experience today!
Our son struggles with incredible anxiety over appointments!
I had communicated prior to our appointment, to share some of his challenges…
There are no words to express my gratitude and appreciation, for how amazing the Staff and Dr., interacted with Colten!
I wasn’t sure, if he could even make it through the appointment… He actually enjoyed it!
Experiences like this, I think will help him heal from previous trauma!
I was a bit too distracted, to get names… But may the Lord bless the three of you! For blessing Colten today! My sweet-and-sour 10-year-old!
I’m not sure about the work they do yet , being this was my first time here … but what I experienced with dr franko twoards my self and another patient just blew my mind but in a positive way. It’s not every day you get to see doctors , dentists or anyone in the health care system being so kind and so caring for there patients In the way he did , he didnt see us as just numbers but as an actual patient felt like we were family , he really was just an angel , such a caring person and a blessing to others he seemed to actually truly care about the health of others and that’s so hard to find these days any where you go ! Thank you dr Franko ! Keep being a blessing! Such a light to the healthcare world ❤️
Everyone at this office was amazing and so welcoming from the moment we walked in. The staff was fast, efficient, and very organized. They did a wonderful job making my daughter feel comfortable and not nervous. Everything was explained clearly so we both understood what was going on. Such a great experience for a kids’ dentist highly recommend! 😊
Let me start by saying that the reviews about being rescheduled is ridiculous. If you understand that this is a dentist that does surgery on kids mouths then you should understand that there may be appointments from time to time that needs adjustments. I got rescheduled and I understood that. Moving forward, the work done in both of my daughters is beyond exceptional and absolutely exceeded my expectations they both needed major work done and the finished results are just like WOW!! I can't say thank you enough to everyone at this dentist. From start to finish I highly absolutely positively recommend this dentist.
Dr. Franco is hands down the best kids dentist around! My daughter has been to multiple dentists and he is the only dentist who has made going to the dentist and having an operation fun and friendly! He did an outstanding job on fixing her teeth when all the other dentists insisted we had to have 4 teeth pulled!
