What a fantastic Vascular Surgeon! Mr Franklin explained everything to me in a clear and kind manor. If I would have known how comfortable the treatments would be I would have had my leg veins treated by Mr Franklin 10 years ago! I am also recommending to Franklin to my own patients & to my family members. I am extremely happy with the treatment and care that i have received.
