The Franklin NC is the best possible combination of professionals a hearing clinic office could be. Margaret is never without the right answers about any hearing aspect. Her PHD shows in all she does. She suggests what I need before I ask her.
Sherry is in the front office making and keeping patients as well as taking care of all the minutiae needed in operating it. It always a very nice appointment.
I couldn’t for more in any aspect.
