Don Franklin III, M.D.

Dr. Franklin is the most professional amd most impressive health care worker I have encountered in the state of Arkansas. He is sharp, always on point and performed my surgery. I had the utmost confidence in his ability and at no time questioned the outcome. Best Doctor in the state!

DR. Don Franklin is a Doctor that listens to you, and explains your condition very well. He is kind and while friendly, he is professional. I found him easy for me to trust and would gladly refer him to others.

Dr. Franklin did surgery on me last year and it couldn’t have gone any better! He is a fine surgeon and also, a very caring person. He with take all the time you need to answer your questions and you feel confident when you leave. I highly recommend him for your Orthopaedic needs!!

After suffering a complex break to my elbow and also a broken wrist, I thought I was going to have to travel several hours to have surgery, however, Dr. Franklin was confident he could do it. The long surgery (to both my elbow and wrist) went even better than expected and I recovered better than expected. He made sure I had the best suited hardware to hold my elbow together (I have a thin arm) and my (very precise) incisions are barely noticeable on both my elbow and my wrist. The six months that I saw him he made sure to address every concern I had and also concerns he would have and said he is always available if I have any questions.

I highly recommend Dr. Franklin I am 45 years old and now have full mobility in both of my shoulders. He was upfront with my surgery; I had two shoulder surgeries right and left shoulders both with labrum tares along with impingement. He said he could help me, but told me it was going to get worse before it gets better. Honesty is hard to find along with integrity in which he has both. It has been a good recovery, some days rougher than others and Dr. Franklin was upfront about that also, I am now back at the golf course driving between 225yds to 250yds after 6 months on last surgery. Not to bad If I can say so myself. Dr. Franklin is a fantastic surgeon, his work is impeccable, I trust him, and I am proof of his professionalism.

I was in pain for many years. Constantly messing up my hip just moving wrong or even walking. Moved to Arkansas, the move was painful. I spoke to the VA clinic and asked for recommendations... they gave me several. I chose Dr. Franklin, Scheduled an appointment, got in and took XRAYS. He recommended complete hip replacement, I was all in. Was the 2 best choices I have made in years. Dr. Franklin did a great job, I can walk with no pain now. I highly recommend seeing Dr Donald Franklin. And I will see him again for any other orthopedic stuff I need done.

Dr. Franklin successfully performed a complicated surgery on my leg after a fall. I now have full use of my leg and am able to walk without a limp. I highly recommend him.

He is not a pationate doctor. He is very vindictive and made my life harder All because I wouldn't do physical therapy in a nursing home. He wouldn't sign a order for a wheelchair or potty chair. And wouldn't give me medication for pain. His bedside manner is poor. All because I wanted to do outpatient therapy. So I had to buy wheelchair and potty chair. I will just have to deal with the pain. Go to doctor Win Moore, he's great.
