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.

Dr. Franks always takes the time to explain the background and his analysis that leads to the treatment plan for any of the illnesses and injuries through which he has treated my kids. I really appreciate that about his approach, and it helps my kids to understand each situation they are facing.

He has seen both of our boys. They do well with him and we feel confident with him as our doctor. He takes time with them and asking questions. Wait time has been good too.

Dr. Franks has been both my sons’ doctor since birth and we can’t tell you how fantastic our experience has been. He is truly invested in the mental and physical well-being of the children under his care. We never have to wait long, yet the doctor takes his time to interact with your child and makes you feel like you are the only patient in the building. We highly recommend Powell Pediatric Care.

Dr. Franks suffers from a very severe case of a God Complex. He also pushes all vaccinations and if you ask Simple Educated questions about the vacinatuon, he will not answer the question (most likely because he really knows nothing about them) but instead treats you like your stupid and below him.. He gave us an ultimatioum to have all of our children get all vacaiations or we couldn’t go there any longer, without any willingness whatsoever to discuss why and safety of the vaccinations,

Dr Franks actively engages in upcoding routine medical visits. In performing care which would be well-within the scope of a routine medical visit, Dr Franks decided to separately bill for removing a nominal amount of ear wax. Obviously separately billing 76 dollars for a 30 second procedure is a good way for him to make some extra money. Find another doctor that is more interested in caring for your children than creative billing.
