I had a telehealth this year. Whenever I have needed him, he has been there. I have followed him to different states. I only trusted him! I want to tell that Dr. Franck saved me! In 1987 I came to him unconscious after years of complaining of lots of headaches and other symptoms. He was the doctor on-call. I was told that he told my family and fiancé that he didn’t think that he could save me but he would give it all he had. He operated that day to remove my severe hydrocephalus. I stayed in a coma for two more days. He then... read more

No neurosurgeon will spend more time with you than Dr Franck! Dr Franck is through & takes time to get to know you as a person!Dr Franck performed a C1-C2 fusion on me in 2019. It was very successful! In 2024 Dr Franck performed a successful disc replacement at C5-6, C6-7. He’s the only neurosurgeon I will let perform on me! Do yourself a favor and get an apt today!

Though my case is still in the courts, I can give a quick version: I was hit by a semi. Problems that couldn't be solved with other med pros: neuro fog, headaches, and more. Surgery: c1-c2 fusion and suboccipital craniectomy/decompression. Results: Neuro issues and headaches resolved. I could not be happier with the outcome! Dr. Franck and Pam were warm, welcoming, patient, and kind. We could text, email, call, or chat in-person and they never made me feel rushed or like I couldn't ask questions. Answers were always exactly ... read more

THINK LONG AND HARD before you decide to use this guy! Check reviews in Panama City. Saw Dr. Frank years ago in Panama City Beach. Wait times in office could easily be 4 hours. Ended up with emergency surgery, came out of recovery and the guy that brought me back to my room told me to get over in my bed by spider crawling. That afternoon I noticed electrifying pain, ankle was buckling when I got up. MRI the next morning showed RE-HERNIATED. Dr.Frank did 2nd surgery on the 2nd day. He took out almost the entire and put nothin... read more

Dr Franck saved my life! After years of Drs, searching and no answers he was able to tell me what was wrong! He then did surgery to fix it! I am so thankful and blessed to have met Dr Franck!

Dr. Franck preformed a c1/c2 fusion on me several years ago & it was & is a complete disaster. He installed a screw on both sides of my neck. One of the screws actually was placed in the wrong spot & was hitting a nerve causing severe pain. Because of this pain I had to have another surgeon remove the screw. Please, please don't let this guy touch you. He is the worst of the worst & should not practice medicine in my opinion.

I do not recommend this doctor. He did my back surgery and sent me home with no antibiotics no pain meds no physical therapy. I ended up having fluids running out my back which he did nothing until a month later when I ended up with a second surgery which showed I had mersa. I endorsed four months of a pick line to have iv meds 4 times a day. I live my now in chronic pain and have to depend on others for help. Please get a second opinion.

After 10 years of pain and symptoms I FINALLY found a doctor who has access to a DMX and Upright MRI. I have only seen Dr. Franck on 1 visit and I was impressed. He was finally able to explain my cervical problem and give me an accurate diagnosis. He spent 3hrs with me. I find that remarkable. He was worth every penny. He was frank, precise and explained my scans in great detail. He even explained what would be involved in surgery. I am grateful to finally have answers.
