Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure.

If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372.

I've been involved with Doctor Franklin and his staff for the seven years that I have had the pacemaker. They have always given me wonderful care. The only problem I have had is with the scheduling. My next visit is next year but the date given was 2023. I have gotten conflicting dates on the pacemaker downloads. No big deal but hard sometimes to get things clarified.
