Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great experience
Dr. Frances is the nicest, knowledgeable doctor we’ve seen in some time. My son had a sports injury, he is fully healed now. She cares about her patients, she listens and engages with kids. Her staff is wonderful and super responsive. Overall, a great doctor providing a great experience.

She misdiagnosed my 3 children’s scoliosis curve and was going to brace them for years! I have gotten 2 other opinions and their spines have minimal curves needing no treatment at all!! Also, when I? couldn’t afford the brace she “recommended” she told me to find a new doctor. My daughters lives would have been completely different being braced at such a young age for a condition that they do not have. She devasted me, but thank goodness for second & third opinions who were amazing.

Terrible experience--had we not switched doctors my daughter's health would have been in serious risk. The cast slipped down her leg and the doctor refused to see us again even though it was no longer covering the broken bone. Unconscionable.

Dr. Frances is amazing she provided me with excellent care for my 3 year old daughter. I came to her from a different doctor with terrible service and she provided me with excellent professional service. She explained my daughters condition and gave us the different options we had prior to her surgery. We came to her a year after our initial appointment date and she received us with all the care one could hope for when it comes to a doctor. She is very informative with any questions one has.
