The Franz Center

Doctor, The Franz Center

The Franz Center consists of a team of physicians, nurse practitioners and caring providers. We offer a mind/body approach to you and your child’s healthcare needs with over 50+ years of combined experience. We utilize an approach called Common Sense Pediatrics, which combines the best of alternative therapies and traditional medicine for everyday use by parents and health care providers alike. Trained in traditional western medicine, Dr. Franz has discovered that nontraditional medicine has much to offer to complement and speed healing. Western medicine treats symptoms where the nontraditional or alternative entities treat the whole person. Looking at whole body, mental, emotional, and physical, offers more opportunity to find the root cause of illness and stimulate deep healing.

  1. Disappointed with front desk don’t answering the phone calls. Third day I’m trying to reach out and make appointment, but after waiting around 10 min hold, they ask you to leave the voice message…. and they never return ur call. So, tell me, please, how I’m supposed to make an appointment??? 🤔🤷‍♀️ …

  2. I love the staff here. Everyone is kind and so helpful. Moving to Florida I was worried about trying a new place. A friend referred me and I couldn’t be happier.

  3. Totally awesome experience. Doctors and staff were all friendly and compassionate. I would def recommend to anyone. I was taken back before I even finished my paperwork. It was great.

  4. When my three year old consistently had tummy problems and refused to potty train they discovered a gluten allergy. Her life and potty skills improved 100% since then. Thank you!

  5. Making an appointment with this place was a huge effort. I left many messages before anyone called back, and even then I was placed on hold and then disconnected after waiting over 15 minutes. When I did finally succeed in making an …

  6. I love the staff at the Franz Center. Super friendly and caring. The have great recommendations for alternative treatment and you feel like they really care genuinely.

  7. Fits our philosophy of natural remedies before pharmaceutical ones. Appointments are informative and thorough. Entire staff is friendly and happy to come to work! Conveniently located south of downtown.

  8. My son on the spectrum and doctors have been an issue but this place was different they did an awesome job putting him at ease and making him and us feel comfortable

  9. Went in for a 9 month check up and I must say, the quality of service has improved dramatically. I was happy to see these changes. All my questions and concerns were addressed without feeling rushed. Thank you!

  10. Very pleased with our visit! When I called to schedule an appointment it was quick and easy. We were seen quickly and all the questions we had were answered. You can tell they care for their patients.

  11. I used to like this pediatrician office but I’ve had the most horrible experience lately. These people never pick up their phones. I’m not sure if they all take lunch breaks at the same time or if they are grossly understaffed but it’s very …

  12. Great physical on my 16 yr old daughter. Tracie was awesome. My daughter still wants me in the room and Tracie was great with navigating that. Thank you:)

  13. This is the absolute worse practice that I have ever been to. Most of the care givers are nurse practitioners, most of the time this would not be a problem. However when the NP’s are in their mid to late 20’s then it is . Everytime I went …

  14. Really hard getting through on the phones, it took me a couple of weeks of calling, getting placed on hold, the line hanging up, etc. When I finally got someone and an appointment, I was so happy. Wonderful place with natural options for my children. Highly recommend. 🙂

  15. I love the Franz center! Yes sometimes you do have to wait awhile. But, I believe it’s worth it. I love how they believe in a more holistic way of living. I love the Herbal tonics they have. They do work if you use them regular.

  16. Love the Franz center. However the wait times are ridiculously long. Even when you do have an appointment you still wait at least an hour to two to see a NP. Also the NP are not all as knowledgeable as they should be and have conflicting information and advice when it comes to diagnoses.

  17. Our kids have been patients for over 23 years. You cannot get a better doctor than Dr. Franz. With an MD and her openness to natural approaches, you get the best of both worlds. A++++++++++

  18. Long time patient, excellent caring staff and friendly environment. Love the holistic approach and products. Physicians and assistants are knowledgeable in the field of autism and caring. No long wait time, fast and easy check out.

  19. Fantastic group. Very caring and knowledgeable. My kids have been going there for years…all 3 are happy and healthy. I contribute this to the excellent education and advice provided.

  20. Basically an anti-vaxx clinic. They advertise as “delayed vaccination” schedule but as other reviews here can attest, it is a royal pain to get any sort of follow-up appointments for vaccinations. If you want your kids to go to any school …

  21. Staff, Nurses, Practice Nurse Practitioners and Dr. Franz are awesome individuals that have care for my children in the most holistic ways. They listen and have a caring disposition to address my concerns.

  22. I had a visit with my 6 week old Caelan on the 13th of August with Laura concerning Caelan’s belly button. Laura diagnosed the problem as a granuloma and said the treatment was silver nitrate. I asked her about the silver nitrate …

  23. An amazing group of providers! So understanding and really care to get to the bottom of an issue and find the root. So nice, extremely friendly with my daughter and make her so comfortable.

  24. We arrived at 8:05am for annual physical. (My 2 teens) We were greeted cheerfully and brought back to be seen promptly. Good experience, no complaints.

  25. This was our 4th visit to the office. Our child has been here since birth. There is not enough room to write a 6 star Google review. Forget 5 stars. If you are looking for honesty and integrity, you’ve found the right children’s pediatric doctor and office staff!

  26. The best pediatrician in Orlando! Love the people, love the way of thinking! my children love them as well! 🙂 InmunAtea the best monthly inmune protection for the whole family! I LOVEEEE them!!.

  27. If you are looking for a group to care for your children with common sense, a group that looks at your child as an individual rather than a plot point on a chart, then this is the place for you. I absolutely love the application of holistic methodologies toward my children’s wellness.

  28. Love love love the Franz center! I’ve seen almost every one there and I love them all! They care about your child, they don’t rush you out or push out your concerns. I always leave feeling confident in what they say.

  29. I’ve been a patient for over a decade, even in my 20’s I’m very grateful to have a team of qualified nurses and of course Dr. Franz. Thank you for your practice. 🙂

  30. Looking for a new pediatrician. Been going here ever since my son was born 15 months ago. They never answer the phone, they leave after hours voice-mail message on until 30 minutes over the time they are supposed to open, short staffed, …

  31. Dr Franz is a breath of fresh air in the medical community! She’s smart, genuine and truly cares for her patients. Would highly recommend, especially for those looking for an integrative practice where you will be heard.

  32. Fantastic pediatrician; we’ve had nothing but a wonderful experience with all staff. It’s great to have a doctor that collaborates with parents, and allows parents to make important health choices for their child.

  33. Their phone answering and hold procedures are horrible. Every time I have to call and if they answer I asked to be placed on hold. Before I can even say why I am calling or even to say yes you can place me on hold, I am placed on a no music …

  34. I absolutely love it here. I always feel well informed about the different options I have for my children. I never feel pressured one way or another and feel comfortable speaking with my Dr. The staff is friendly and professional. Everything is organized and there is no excessive waiting. Thank you for all you do!

  35. I really like Dr. Franz and her holistic approach. I love the nurses but good grief I might have to find a new office because all the new policy changes and drop in customer service are really driving me crazy. The wait times have severely …

  36. I have been taking my son there since birth. I will no longer take him there any more and hear are the reasons. 1. very unprofessional 2. Always a new staff 3. very unorganized 4. You make a appointment and that appointment is useless 5. …

  37. We love Dr. Franz and very happy we found her upon moving to Florida. To have a Doctor actually listen to you as a prent is rare and amazing! She is also very knowledgeable and does so much of her own research. I dont ever care what the wait time is, it’s worth it 100%.

  38. We love this practice! They are very thorough and think through the issues rather than giving a standard diagnosis for every health problem. I don’t understand the complaints about waiting times…we have never had to wait longer than a …

  39. It’s 9:35am on a Friday. The phones are still turned off and only ring to a “after-hours” line, 35 minutes into their normal business hours. Unbelievable that a health care provider could be this inept- as a working parent of an ill child …

  40. I would NOT recommend this doctors office! We paid out of pockets hundreds of dollars (even though our daughter was on our insurance since day 1) and seeking reimbursement is like pulling a tooth! We’ve been waiting for ours since the …

  41. Currently going through a traumatic situation and the service I received from The Franz Center is one of the best. Everyone I have spoken to has Been professional and courteous. Both my children and I are patients of the Franz Center.

  42. This is incredibly disappointing but I have now called 8-9 times this week to try and schedule an appt for my daughter. While I completely understand that the staff has been shortened I would think I’d at least get a call back. They called …

  43. Love the idea of holistic medicine and love most of the staff. I wish that I was given more say so on my child shot schedule. If I want to follow a traditional shot schedule I should be able to. Instead your child is almost an adult by the …

  46. Management is a mess. Billing doesn’t do their job right. The front desk and triage nurses are so unfriendly and never smile. You never get to see Dr. Franz only the nurse practitioners which are in the most part nice and do their job well that’s one good thing. The other positive thing is that they always have same day sick visits.

  47. Extremely disappointed. I was excited to go to a practice that offered an alternative vaccine schedule and that offered a marriage between holistic and traditional medicine. …

  48. I have no complaints! Friday was our first visit. We didn’t have to wait very long and the doctor was great at explaining everything to not only myself, but my daughter as well. Well definitely be back!

  56. Wonderful practice! I don’t think there is another medical professional with a holistic mindset (bonus: it’s 90% chinese herbals used here) within Central or North Florida. I used to live two hours away and lots of my friends made the drive …

  57. Today my son had an appt and I was very pleased with the front office staff and the provider that we saw. I was greeted by Sherline who is amazing! She got us checked in. Our wait time was less than 10 mins, our provider was on point and Tamara checked us out with ease. I can’t wait til we come back!!!!

  58. I was never asked to schedule a follow up vaccination appointment. They have an alternative and delayed vaccination schedule that used to be posted on their website, but for some reason they don’t seem to follow it. I understand Dr. Franz …

  59. My first time here for my newborn. Love how they operate. Saw Dr.Jackie. She was very informational and hands on which I loved! Didn’t rush anything… But the nurse assistant or who ever you talk to when you can’t get in contact with Jackie is RUDE IN MY OPINION! name is Lisa…so just prepare!

  60. Amazing staff and outstanding practice where not only do my children feel comfortable and confident, but as parents we genuinely feel heard. Thank you for all that you do!

  61. best pediatrician in florida and other states ive lived in, they actually care about the patients and want to help. i have nothing but good things to say about them.

  62. We used to vaccinate but because of an issue we stopped. They have helped me figure things out and have become an amazing source of information to help guide us through an alternative way of care! I’m so very grateful for The Franz Center and the wonderful staff!

  63. Don’t bother. You will NEVER see Dr. Franz only the other staff. Our first visit was ok but the nurse was a bit cold and unfriendly. However the person who saw our child was pretty informative. …

  64. Check in was smooth, the nurse was the sweetest, and our ARNP was okay. Today was a faster process even though our appointment took a little longer but that’s also because it was 2 physicals.

  65. We have been going to The Franz Center since 2010. We trust that we’re getting the best care for our now 3 boys and myself. Dr. Franz herself is phenomenal and has opened up a whole new world of alternative medicine to serve the whole you. Would recommend to anyone and everyone

  66. Excellent practice for Thinking parents! If you want a mill, run like Mickey D’s, this is not the practice for you – if you want care for your child that allows enough time to actually have a conversation with your practitioner, allows you …

  67. Here’s my truth! My children have been going to the Franz Center since 2013. In the beginning it was great with no complaints, but currently the staff seems uninterested and disorganized. If you use this office, my advice is to pay …

  72. The Franz Center worked us in on a busy day. Had a crabby 3 year old with a crazy cough.They did testing to find exactly what is wrong with him. Instead of guessing what it could be. They had all medication available for purchase right in …

  88. Talanda was great with her recommendations and was very professional as always. The front office had some hiccups throughout the scheduling and billing process however I ultimately come for the provider experience.

  89. Not only do my children love the doctor experience now, my husband and I appreciate the promptness and consideration of the staff. We drive over an hour to their office, due to professionalism we receive from our medical standpoint.

  90. Very knowledgeable staff. Everyone was kind and respectful. All of my questions were answered, and I left feeling informed and confident about my decisions. Would enthusiastically recommend to anyone who prefers health professionals who put integrity first.

  94. Dr. Franz is more than a pediatrician. She has been a life line for our family as we navigated my teen son’s severe anxiety during this turbulent Covid year. Her holistic approach to medicine didn’t just help heal our son, but our entire family as a unit. For that I am forever grateful.

  103. Its an awesome practice that goes beyond big pharma’s paradigm. I highly recommend for parents who prefer holistic approaches. It may be hard to reach them but definitely worth the wait. I travel all the way from Clermont since its hard to find practices that don’t discriminate these days, for one reason or the next.

  104. I have been taking my son to Dr.Franz since he was 2 days old, he’s 19 now. She has consistently addressed every issue that has come up over the years and just nailed it, with the best outcome anyone could hope for! I love her no nonsense …

  107. The staff and practioners are incredible. They provide exceptional care, fast appointments and I’ve never felt rushed during a visit. Immun-A-Tea far surpasses any OTC multi-vitamin. I’m so grateful to Dr. Franz for providing parents an option for Holistic care for children.

  108. Absolutely always have a great experience with the staff. Our family appreciates how the Franz Center supports our integrative, holistic philosophy. The educational classes especially on vaccines was also very helpful to us. If there could …

  127. This place use to be amazing. Now, from service to actually making an appointment is just sad. You get so much run around and inaccurate info before you finally reach the correct response. I understand they are growing but please hire the …

  128. We love the NP we see at the Franz Center. However, getting an appointment is close to impossible. Most of the time you call you will not get through to anyone. The prompting leads you to email if you need an appointment but can’t get …

  140. All of the staff was very kind and helpful. Emily our NP was very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome! Thank you Franz Center this is the kind of interaction with a Doctors office I’ve been looking for, for such a long time!!

  141. All of my children and foster children have been to The Franz Center pediatric clinic. It is an international practice for me because it incorporates wisdoms from Europe and Asia, as well as Western medicine offerings. It’s the best in the …

  142. If you don’t mind the horrible communication from the front office and having your appointment canceled minutes after scheduling it then they do have some of the most caring providers. I scheduled my daughter’s appointment for 2.5 hours …

  143. I highly respect what this medical center stands for and I have had some good experiences for my children, but they do not follow through. I requested my children’s medical records to be sent to a new doctor office after moving out of the …

  144. The Frantz center is like calling your grandma and asking her for a remedy. When my husband and I didn’t know what we were gonna do about who would treat our daughter, being that we didn’t want to vaccinate her, they took us in and have …

  145. Great experience today! My virtual appointment went very well. My provider was awesome and sufficient! Received my care slip within 15mins by email. The appointment by email was phenomenal! It was very quick and easy. Wonderful!… the universe is in my favor this morning. 🙂 This made me happy today.

  146. My children have been patients at the Franz Center for many years and I, myself have recently been seen there. We love this place. I will not go anywhere else. They make us feel welcome and take their time with us in our appointments. Dr. …

  147. My experience here has been nothing less than extraordinary. Every person I came across was helpful, and passionate about my child’s health. There was a a bit of a wait but it was very much worth it. They really do try to help every person …

  148. Dr. Franz and the team truly care for the patients. My son arrived yrs ago to the clinic barely breathing after been under antibiotics for months and as soon as the practitioner saw him said that it was asthma and was referred to a …

  149. What an absolute blessing The Franz Center has been to my family. I completely trust the medical care that my children are receiving from this practice! For one, I love that they support parental choice when it comes to medical decisions …

  150. We love the Franz Center ! We welcomed a baby boy last week and were thrilled to hear that there was an integrative pediatrician in our area! We wouldn’t have chose any other way with our little boy! We love the quality of care they …

  151. I had a good first impression of this location. My family and I moved to the Orlando area and needed to find a new pediatrics center to go to. After researching for a couple of hours, I decided to give The Franz Center a try. I was …

  152. Maybe the best pediatric doctor visit I’ve had yet, but the Franz Center has been awesome since my son was a newborn. Hardly any wait, very friendly staff, knowledgeable and efficient nurses and doc. In and out in record time; just as it should be for an annual wellness visit with a healthy kid!

  153. The nurse practitioners are Amazing! We really enjoyed who seen my son. She was friendly, funny, and made you feel very comfortable. The only reason it’s 4 stars is because the wait time is way to long in the lobby. Our appointment was at 10:50 and we had to wait over 40 minutes before getting seen.

  154. The lovely licensed medical professionals at Dr. Franz’s office are absolutely wonderful. You don’t ever feel rushed when you’re there. They are very thorough in their evaluations. I appreciate that they listen to the parents’ experience …

  155. I normally LOVE the Franz Center and the providers are wonderful but I cannot say the same about the office staff. Recently my son had RSV and I was told he needed a follow up which I scheduled. After driving an hr the day of his follow up …

  156. Dr. Franz has always gone above and beyond to serve my family. She has assisted my girls through challenging hormonal imbalances, emotional issues needing counseling and so much more. I trust her medical judgment and I really love the …

  157. This was a new patient visit. The place was very neat and children friendly, staff were courteous and patient. The provider who saw my son was very friendly and welcoming. She made me feel comfortable with my choices for my child health …

  158. Wow! We just had the most incredible experience at the Franz Center. We have been going here for 3 years and this visit was truly PERFECTION. My son caught a cold so I called and was immediately offered a same day and next day appointment. …

  159. The staff was super friendly, my daughter took very well to the nurses and doctor there so that made me feel at ease. I appreciate that they are pro choice and don’t push you. The only thing that was a little frustrating was the wait to be seen . It was a little long for my liking , but aside from that we found our new pediatrician!!!

  160. It’s great to have a doctor who is not afraid to be a doctor for the good and health of the child first!!
    We finally got into see Dr. Franz herself after a long wait ( mostly covid …

  161. I like the nurse practitioners and the nursing assistants, I like their holistic approach and how they always try to treat with natural remedies. HOWEVER…. It is so hard to talk to anyone on the phone for an appointment or anything else. …

  162. Great office staff and though the providers are a newer bunch they are really good this far. Love how they explain things and really work through options with the family. Only downside is the wait but that’s typical for any MD office

  163. I love to see that so many people love Dr. Franz and have had a wonderful experience with this facility. While I am not completely disappointed, I would not be telling the truth if I said I was totally happy. My family never got to meet Dr. …

  164. I’ve been coming to the Franz Center since the birth of my first baby 7 years ago. Im now on baby #3 and just brought her in for her newborn wellness visit. They have always made me feel so comfortable in knowing that my children are going …

  165. The front office staff sucks. They are always so rude and disrespectful. They said they couldn’t look up our insurance and had a bad attitude. The spanish lady at the front is extremely rude and ignores you when you speak and ask questions. …

  166. This office holds a special place in my heart. They have had some staffing issues and inconsistencies in the office over the recent years but we as patients should be a little more patient (no pun intended) and understanding to the …

  167. We had our first consultation appointment with Dr. Franz last week and it was wonderful. Very refreshing to have a Doctor listen to you and understand what you want for your children, rather than forcing stuff onto you. I love the products …

  168. My review is long overdue. I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this office and all of the people who work here! After searching for years to find a doctor who would acknowledge my daughters vaccine injury at birth, and being kicked out …

  169. Worst pediatrician office ever. They reel you in and neglect you once you’re a patient. They charge for every little thing and always try to push their products that never seem to work. My son had covid and i called after hours line when he …

  170. I am extremely satisfied with my experience at The Franz Center. Being new to the state of Florida was a big adjustment but knowing that my son is under the care of Dr. Franz has lifted a big burden off my shoulders. I appreciate that Dr. …

  171. Ordered a product to help breathing from their website in December, got communication in January my payment didn’t work (it did) and they couldn’t process. I said okay, could I pay in person and pick up? No response and they stole the …

  172. I have been bringing my kids here since birth in 2017. I love the knowledge that Dr. Franz provided early on during visits. I also love our experience with our Nurse Practitioner Talonda. The new scheduling system and inability to speak to …

  173. The Franz Center used to be a decent practice. However, since the covid, they have become absolutely impossible to deal with. They complain of constantly being short-staffed. They will unilaterally “convert” your child’s in-person …

  174. I chose the Franz Center for my baby because I wanted a pediatrician with an integrative approach to care. We purchased the care plan that gives us 15 visits and have been very happy with that option! So far, I have not had trouble waiting …

  175. My husband and I brought our little girl here and we love them! I was referred by someone in a holistic group and it was totally worth the drive. The staff was all fantastic to work with. My daughter was a mess just because she’s getting to …

  176. We didn’t know what to expect when taking our newborn to their first appointment but the staff at The Franz Center made us feel like home. A huge shout out to our amazing provider Tracey who helped us each and every appointment and rooted …

  177. My children have been seen at Dr. Franz’s office for the last 18 years. Although her practice may have changed location, and providers (e.g. Doctors, Nurses, and Nurse practitioners) may have sometimes come and gone, Dr. Franz (and her …

  178. I absolutely love The Franz Center. We chose them because they aligned with our values and heard us out when we had concerns about our daughters health. We have worked with Tolanda and she is absolutely amazing. So thankful for practices like these.

  179. Kortney was amazing , the office was clean and all staff was very friendly.
    We were very pleased with the tour and are looking forward to the arrival of our baby and becoming a part of their practice.

  180. To get a hold of someone is always impossible.
    My appointment was for Friday, they call leave a message “you’re appointment is for this Monday “same time” . This appointment was made months ago so time …

  181. Fantastic practice with friendly doctors and nurses. The only issue I have is communication. It is sometimes difficult to get in contact/to get a response from the front office when you need paperwork and such. They could probably use more help.

  182. We have been with this practice since 2012, when our son was born. We chose it because we wanted to be able to delay vaccinations and approach his care with more natural and holistic options. Thankfully, our children are not sick often, so …

  183. The Dr is amazing however the scheduling team is very unorganized, demeaning and rude. I asked multiple times if I would have to pay for a virtual well visit and I was assured that since my insurance is taken it will be covered. Only to …

  184. Update 7-12-2022: changed from a 1 star to a 5 star – Franz center reached out and apologized for what happened. They also hired a billing firm that is doing a good job following up and getting things corrected. …

  185. We had a really terrible experience with the Franz Center. They made us pay a $100 registration fee before being transparent about their policies. After learning about their center and approach in greater detail we realized this was not …

  186. Dr. Franz is awesome and she has an amazing team. They truly care for their patients. I’ve been taking my kids to this center for several years, and I’m still happy to be part of the patient family. I’m so glad that Dr. Franz is seeing adults now. I’ll be coming in for my office visit.

  187. I absolutely LOVED the service we received from the DR. She seemed very knowledgeable and thorough and hopefully my daughters concerns were resolved. We didn’t seem like just a paycheck like most doctors. She genuinely cared about my …

  188. Unfortunately my first 2 attempts to make an appointment have been very hard. They have a calling center you’re rerouted to after listening to an extremely long message over and over again on their regular office number. It’s taken me from …

  189. Great doctor/PA/nurses. They are professional and very well educated. They have made our experience phenomenal when it comes to the care of our daughter and has put my mind at easy. We are very appreciative of their respect of our …

  190. My children have been to 5 pediatricians in almost 6 years due to moving often. This is the BEST office we have ever been to! It is a relief to find someone who genuinely listens to parents and validates any concerns. We really love Emily …

  191. I recommend The Franz Center to everyone! We have been using them for a couple years, and the after hours calls and the care that we have received has been top notch! I have had appointments with several providers and they are all great! …

  192. Patient and great with kids. My son has some trauma from having seizures and dealing with doctors and hospitals. They are able to mame him comfortable, laugh and get thru a wellnedd check.

  193. They go downhill as each year goes by. Should be ashamed of how much theyre charging families with insurance just bc they can’t keep staff and train them to bill insurance promptly & correctly. Unprofessional billing manager who was so …

  194. I truly loved this practice for 11 years. I was so happy with their overall approach to health & parent involvement. This is nothing really against the staff as we never had issues being seen by all the kind PAs that took time to listen to …

  195. Thankful for a practice that accepted my two littles after being turned away from 10+ other practices that I had called. Had some confusion with scheduling but the administrative staff handled that pretty quickly. I had a telehealth appt …

  196. We deeply appreciate the work, the vast knowledge, and incredible referral network that The Franz Center provides. We’ve had amazing experiences with the entire team with both of our children.
    Thank you!

  197. I have to say that i am so disappointed with these new plan of a monthly fee , i have bith of my kids going to Dr franz since day one . I really hope that this plan goes away .. I got email for the next year I’ll need to pay 450$ + monthly …

  198. I love the Franz Center! They do not rush through appointments. They don’t push medications and are very holistic oriented leaning towards homeopathic remedies over tradition medicine and are no-vax friendly or offer a delayed vax schedule …

  199. We love the Franz Center and the care they provide. I love their approach to health and wellness. I feel absolutely at ease knowing they are giving the best advice for the well-being of my son. ❤️

  200. After a couple online consultations which I paid to this clinic (which was very basic information, there was no consultation with any doctor about anything) I am getting bill collectors way after asking for more money for this clinic for …

  201. Franz is a leader, educator and hero of pediatric practice and homeopathic care that is worthy of respect. I am a clinician and recognize talent when I see it. She should continue to pursue that, and leave the office to be managed …

  202. These are anti-vax wackos shilling supplements under the guise of “holistic medicine.” I booked a visit with this clinic shortly after moving to the area. I did NOT realize what kind of office this is. I brought my 10 year old daughter in …

  203. They don’t have a Doctor at this office!! They said the doctor is retires writing books and giving conferences. So only nurses and PA will be evaluating your child— they don’t have enough knowledge to answer health questions. The office is …

  204. Good holistic place where your needs can be met with alternative medicine and therapy. This can be expensive and not everyone can afford. …

  205. Sadly the ideas of the care here is wonderful however, after bringing my children here from birth for the last 10 years I will be leaving the practice. The office can not get billing right, I can never get anyone on the phone. I also can …

  206. Referred here by a friend, and have been taking my son since he was born. Our whole family loves The Franz Center and staff. Always warm, welcoming, and ready to listen, the medical practices here are top of the line and we feel blessed to be able to care for our child with a holistic option first.

  207. The Dr Franz Center is full of caring and knowledgeable people. My 2nd grade daughter has always loved going to the doctor because of how kind they are. I’d recommend them to anyone who cares about their children’s health.

  208. Supportive and the safest place I felt to take my daughter, she’s been with them a few days from birth and will continue using as our family doctor for many generations to come. Thank you so much Dr. Franz and staff again for everything you did for our family today!!! God bless!

  209. I had such a great experience here with my toddler. Emily, the nurse practitioner, was so patient with my daughter. She took her time and I didn’t feel like she was rushing to go see the next patient. Everyone at the office was friendly and welcoming.

  210. Everyone is nice and all but you have to pay out of pocket even if you have you participating insurance ($125 for an in person wellness visit $135 for a virtual sick visit!). but more importantly, good luck trying to get documentation from …

  211. My first child was seen here 10 years ago and it was great. Educational and compassionate. Now in 2022 its been nothing but a let down. The front desk staff is rude, they have a doctor who seemed like she hated children, they push for …

  212. My son was a patient of Franz center for almost 2 years. I appreciate that Franz center respects parents choices, but I’m not ready to pay so much money for it. Today I got email that in less than 2 months, for the next year I’ll need to …

  213. My husband and I loved the Franz center. The staff is friendly and I love their holistic approach. Unfortunately we will not be able to continue here due to the new concierge plans. We have insurance and I simply can not fathom paying …
