Dr. Fowler was a terrific in his role. He listened carefully. He explained what he was doing. He answered my questions thoughtfully, and when I asked one thing that he was not in a position to answer, he said in straightforward manner that we should leave that question for Dr. Franklin. Dr. Franklin is amazing. She is efficient in her examination, and helps patients feel like she wants to hear questions and is not in too much of a hurry to listen to whatever I had to say. Even though I had not been to see her since June 2021 -- she must have reviewed the chart bc she recalled/knew exactly where we had left off in terms of my problems and our treatment plan. She is excellent and I'd recommend her strongly to anyone.

  Dr. Lucy Franklin is what every doctor should be. Professional, compassionate and caring. She took time out to answer all my questions. She always speaks when she sees me. She is down to earth and makes you fell as she really cares. A lost commodity so many times in our world of fast pace everything.

  Dr Franklin is wonderful. But 2 1/2 hours for an appointment Is excessive
- Patient Review

  I felt that the doctor did not pay attention to what's been done prior to seeing her (with referring providers). Dr. Franklin was trying to blame my behavior for the symptoms. (When the other doctor has already ruled them out - she would have known that if she paid attention to the charts). Dr. Franklin is making me repeat the same treatment routine I've completed again (to rule things out) - wasting my time.

  I waited 2 years to make this appointment because my experience last time I had an eye exam was not good when I went elsewhere. The contrast in the two experiences was quite noticeable.
