Patient Testimonial

Dr. Franklin has been our family ENT for over 20 years and I wouldn’t trust my ears to anyone else.

He has performed numerous surgeries on my ears and has the touch of an angel. He is gentle, kind, and listens patiently. He can treat just about anything. Thanks to his great staff everything runs efficiently.

Allergy

Allergies are the immune system’s abnormal response to a foreign substance around you.
