While this was a first visit to the Franklin office, I have been a patient of Dr. Felch for several years. He is always complete, courteous and friendly. I am lucky to have such a great doctor.

Dr. Felch did a very thorough exam and informed me of all the findings, including things to be followed closely in future visits. He answered all of my questions and was very courteous and respectful in conversing with me.

The first person-a very pleasant, positive young woman was very good, fast, and explained all she was doing. Dr. Felch was waiting for me, no waiting at all. As alwaysthorough and good explanations.
