Cale Franklin, M.D., is board-certified specializing in Pediatrics and is a member of the Medical Board of Physicians and Surgeons (NBPAS). He also has a subspecialty in Internal Medicine/Pediatrics.
Dr. Franklin emphasizes the importance of team-based patient care. “I believe the patient and family should be an integral part of the diagnosis and management of any illness. We must work together to achieve and maintain the best care a patient can receive to ensure the best quality of life possible. No matter the diagnosis, each patient and their family are unique, and we will treat them as such,” he says. “I also believe vaccines are an integral and crucial part of healthcare.”
