What Our Patients Think

My 5 1/2 yr. old daughter had a fractured elbow and they explained everything in great detail. I highly recommend Franklin Orthopaedics and our family will be returning here from now on!!

I have been here many times over the years. They are always friendly, patient and professional and completely explain their diagnosis and treatment options. I always feel better, usually the same day!

I am healing quite nicely after my rotator cuff surgery. Dr. Greg and staff were wonderful. I never felt I was being rushed. Everything about the procedure was carefully explained to me. I highly recommend Franklin Orthopedics!!

They were careful while getting x-rays and got me in for surgery the next day. They took care of my pain and fixed my arm perfectly! My surgeon actually called me the next day to check on me. I love Franklin Orthopaedics!

Day of surgery he kept my friend informed of how the procedure went and they could not have done a better job. You can tell all of the staff really care about their patients. I would recommend this business to anyone.

Surgery was smooth and recuperation was exactly as they told me. Excellent, caring team and I’m grateful for how thorough they were getting my insurance coverage worked out. Highly recommend this Orthopaedic office.
