Cynthia M. Frane, M.D.
Family practice allows the opportunity to know and care for a patient as an individual and a part of their family. Developing a long-term personal relationship allows me to laugh and cry with them while listening, educating, and caring for them. Trust created through time is the strength of the doctor patient relationship.
