    Dr. Franklin is a consummate professional who invests whole-heartedly in helping each of her patients overcome whatever incorrect tongue or speech habits they have acquired. ... I was humbled this spring by her attendance (along with her family) at a musical I was directing. She values and enjoys each of her patients as a person, and this is a huge motivating factor for her patients. Not only has the tongue thrust I've lived with since childhood been eradicated, I've gained a new friend!

    I am so grateful for Dr. Franklin and her team. The amount of care they took in order to correct my son's habits was beyond what I expected. Her stern, but loving approach reflects how much she cares for her patients.There aren't many doctors we look forward to visiting. I have such great appreciation and respect for the work of Dr. Franklin and Amanda! They are pure gold!

    Dr. Franklin is hard to describe. The words "miracle worker" come to mind. She helped my 10-yr-old daughter completely eliminate a 10-yr-old finger sucking habit. ... I can think of no other doctor, therapist, or specialist of any kind that I think more highly of than Dr. Franklin and her incredible assistant, Amanda. Thank you!!
