I have met with Franca Gardner twice in the last 4 months and feel I made the right choice for a partner in my healing journey. Her evaluation was thorough and I felt she listened with both her heart and her bright mind. She provided written notes with a clear plan of action. I know the steps I need to take and I feel supported. She was quick to call me back when I had questions. I highly recommend Monarch Integrative Health and Franca Gardner for quality functional medicine.
Franca is AMAZING!!!! I left our last appointment feeling very confident that we’re on the right track. I haven’t felt like that in so long! My stomach hurts all the time, and I was starting to think I would have to just live with it. I am SO grateful for Franca’s expertise and commitment to helping me better my gut health.
Franca was exactly what I needed when my hormone issues were not being resolved with my general practitioner or OBGYN. I had been told countless times that I shouldn’t be having issues at my age and was put on birth control. Franca took the time to listen to me and let me choose which course of treatment I would like to pursue. Her knowledge and empathetic approach made me feel hopeful that I can get back to normal when I had lost faith in the medical field. Thank you!
