Real Patient Reviews

“As soon as we met with Dr. Franck we knew he was extremely knowledgeable and skilled. He has a trained eye and is an artist. We have had experience with other plastic surgeons in the past and he has been the absolute most professional, knowledgeable, skilled and has an amazing bedside manner.”

“When I had my first consultation with him, I felt very welcomed and comfortable. After sharing the trauma and lack of confidence I was battling, he immediately put himself in my shoes and helped me come up with the best solution (which indeed was the procedure). Being that he was so confident, passionate, and professional; I knew that I could trust him.”
