      Spoke with physician regarding my bad experience I encountered with staff member regarding last phone call from her office. We discussed in detail my experience and she was very apologetic for what had taken place and thanked me for informing her of the situation. I did give her the name of the individual this had occurred with and she also informed me that this individual no longer works in their office.

      Dr. Franklin became my ophthalmologist when Dr. Van Meter retired. I loved Dr. Van Meter, and I love Dr. Franklin.

      Dr. Franklin is an amazing physician. That is the only reason that I put up with the ridicuous wait time. However I work at UK, and when I take an hour off of work for an appointment, I really need it to be just an hour. Not 1 and 1/2 hours.

      I just cannot say enough good things to describe how wonderful Dr. Franklin and her entire staff are. I used to hate going to my former eye doctor and always had trouble with my glasses. She explains things very well and makes sure she answers all my concerns. She's one of my very favorite doctors.
