Dr. Francois is fantastic. She is calm, confident, and communicates very well. I miss seeing her now that my babies are toddlers :). As someone with a high-risk pregnancy, I wanted the best, and drove 45 min+ to Dr. Francois, past many other OBGYN/perinatal offices; it was 100% worth it and I'd do it again.
We saw her at over 90% of our scheduled visits and was able to be seen by the fabulous nurse practitioner at her practice when I needed a same day appointment for some various hormone-induced worries I had about the pregnancy :). Dr. F and her team are also very responsive when you call with a concern. All but one of my appointments happened on time, no waiting around to be seen (and even that one they called me and I just rescheduled for later that day...and this is only one out of dozens of appointments I had).
She delivered my babies and visited me / checked in on me each day I was in the hospital. During my labor she was very present, worked well with the nurses and really did everything we had talked about during all those prenatal appointments. I didn't love Shea Scottsdale (where I delivered) for a variety of reasons, but it was ok, and I would do it all over again because of how fantastic Dr. F. was.
P.S.- My yelp user name has "Docta" in it but I'm not a physician, I am a mom who needed a great doctor for my babies; and I found one with Dr. Francois! read more
