I have been a patient at this eye clinic for five years, attending visits every two years in accordance with my insurance coverage. I have been nearsighted since childhood, and each visit has shown a progression in my nearsightedness. Additionally, I have informed my doctor of my limited family history, which includes a biological brother in Africa who is blind.
At my most recent appointment, I experienced a significant decline in my vision. However, when my test results appeared normal, Dr. Franklin accused me of being dishonest about my symptoms. This accusation was not only unprofessional but also deeply upsetting. Being part of an adoptive family of medical professionals, I fully understand the importance of honesty in healthcare. I take my eye health seriously and would never fabricate concerns about my worsening vision.
A doctor-patient relationship should be built on trust and respect, and unfortunately, that was not my experience. Due to this interaction, I will not be returning to this practice, nor do I feel comfortable recommending it to others. I hope that future patients receive the professionalism and understanding that every individual seeking medical care deserves. read more
