I dread getting Pap smears, especially as an enby. But Dr. Franco attentively listened to requests of going slow. Resonating with my past experiences. They used my pronouns and gave me the option to do a self-pap (I never even knew that was an option!) they taught me how to do it. Answered all my questions. There was no feeling of judgement or reluctance when they asked me about the gender of my sexual partners. For the first time ever I felt extremely comfortable on an appt with the doctor, especially in the event of a Pap smear.

Liz was wonderful to visit! I hadn’t been to the doctor for quite some time, and she made sure to stop and ask if I had any questions and to make sure we were on the same page. Could not have been a better, more efficient visit.

This office is not a trans-affirming place though they claim to be and they post a Pride flag on the door. When I called the office I was misgendered by a staff person and when I corrected them they did not apologize. Then, the intake paperwork conflates two questions that have different answers for any trans person who has gone through a legal name and gender marker change: it asks for sex assigned at birth, but then describes that what they are looking for is the sex on file with your insurance. For anyone such as myself who has legally changed their gender marker, sex assigned at birth is a different answer than current legal sex on file with insurance. I had to out myself in the public waiting room by asking a person at the front desk which information they were looking for because my sex assigned at birth is different than my legal sex on file with insurance. This meant that I had to discuss my genitals with a complete stranger in a public waiting room.
Liz is incredibly warm, listens well, and I never feel rushed talking to them. I completely trust them and would recommend to anyone looking for a great primary care provider.
Verified patient
Liz was great 10/10 would recommend. There was a decent wait but once Liz saw me, I never felt rushed. They spent plenty of time getting to know me, taking my history, and talking through concerns. I’d say a fair trade-off to have a provider spend time and seem like they actually care!
Liz was so great! They prioritized my comfort and concerns and really listened to me as I explained my concerns. We came up with an entire plan so quickly and they really worked with me and my schedule.
The staff and doctors were very patient, thorough and helpful. There was never any sense of rushing to get me out if the office.
Verified patient
Liz was wonderful- she was thorough, kind, knowledgeable, and a great listener. I am really happy with the care I received and am happy that she is my primary care physician.
I have a lot of anxiety over health and doctors and hadn't been to a doctor since I was a child. I saw Dr. Franco had a lot of good reviews on here so I drove a bit out of the way to try and have a pleasant, or at least less unpleasant, experience. My expectations were exceeded. Dr. Franco was sooo kind and listened to everything I said, never made me feel bad about anything I threw out there, and offered me even more suggestions and solutions than I could have expected. I went in there today with so much anxiety and I left feeling heard, cared about, and understood. 10/10 doctor, we need more like them! :)
Verified patient
I can’t recommend Liz and their team enough. I’ve always been nervous going to the doctor because it can feel like a cold and dismissive experience but this was the exact opposite of that. Liz listened to each of my health concerns and worked with me to come up with a plan to address them and made me feel super comfortable and heard. Her team was also super friendly and made my lab testing an absolute breeze. I can say this took a lot of the anxiety out of managing my health and if you’re looking for a provider to actually listen to you look no further!
Verified patient
Liz was thorough and thoughtful in spending time with me going through my full health history prior to my first appt. I felt listened to and cared for. Looking forward to a continued patient relationship.
Verified patient
Dr Liz is kind, communicative and thoughtful in their care. I can’t say I have ever been given so much agency or treated with so much empathy as a patient. Would recommend them to anyone!!
Verified patient
One of the kindest, most compassionate medical providers I have ever encountered. I have been waiting for years to work with someone who listens and validates me as well as Liz did. Highly, highly recommend them.
Verified patient
Such a great experience. Liz listened to all my questions and concerns amd provided thorough, affirming responses and a clear plan of action. Would highly highly recommend!
The only surprise was that the clinic is in a school. But it was such a great experience overall. Liz is a great listener, has a proactive attitude about issues, and explains things really clearly. The staff were super nice, and also helped me understand a few things I wasn't sure about re: my insurance.
Liz was truly the best practitioner I’ve ever seen. As a trans/non-binary person it’s so hard to find good care. Liz was easy to talk to. Asked important questions and helped me with referrals. They were truly one of the kindest people in the healthcare industry that I’ve encountered. I couldn’t recommend them enough!
Verified patient
My visit with Liz Franco was amazing! If you’re looking for someone who listens and really tries to understand what you’re going through, this person is for you! I had previously gone to a doctor in the city that was rude, rushed and pushed me to do things I didn’t want to. This is NOT Liz! I felt like I had all the time in the world with them, I felt they listened to all my concerns and never once did they push me to do something I wasn’t comfortable with. They always asked for consent and even asked for my pronouns which I respect. The only thing that threw me off was the clinic was in a school. This was an excellent experience for me and I can’t recommend them enough!
Liz was truly fantastic – thorough and really took their time walking through everything with me. I felt very comfortable and heard.
Very professional! I like the fact that the Dr. consistently asked questions to make sure I was aware and comfortable with the procedure?s being taken. Rather than just tell me “next, I need you to do XYZ.”
Verified patient
Liz was graciously attentive, thorough and professional. The rest of staff was extremely helpful as well. A very pleasant experience overall.
Verified patient
Liz was a great provider. They listened and didn't make me feel bad about anything. I get anxious about medical stuff, especially labs, and everyone was very understanding and accommodating.
Verified patient
Liz practices patience and provides trauma informed insight on complex health issues. They were able to refer me to care before analyzing my weight or habits. They asked consent before care. They asked for my pronouns. Liz made me feel like a human being first before anything else. This was my first shame free PCP visit since childhood. I am so happy to have found this community center! Thank you for taking such good care of me!
Verified patient
Liz was awesome. Takes the time to listen to your concerns and is so friendly. I felt so comfortable and I felt like I was being heard. Hands down the best Nurse Practitioner I’ve met
Verified patient
I felt so safe with Liz OMG I wanted to hug her because of how understanding and open she was. She was patient and caring. And even got more help for me with other concerns. Definitely coming back. She's my new favorite!
