Dr. Joseph A. Franklin

I feel very blessed to have a profession that allows me to serve patients with both cancerous and non-cancerous diseases of the head and neck. As a head and neck surgeon, I carefully weigh the risks and benefits of treatment — working with our team to maximize the chance for cure while maintaining the highest quality of life. As a physician, my approach to patient care includes addressing one's physical, emotional, psychosocial, and spiritual needs and well-being. My research endeavors strive to improve the care we provide to patients with head and neck cancers. I have had a research program in tumor immunotherapy. I am active in addressing global health needs, being involved with regular humanitarian mission trips throughout the world. I am also active in training the next generation of surgeons that are able to address and solve challenges in an ethical and virtuous way. I have, along with my colleagues, developed and instituted a virtue-based approach to residency training that will meet this need. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and four kids in a variety of activities. Dr. Lee is rated as an Advanced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

My interest in becoming a doctor can be traced to elementary school when every kid is asked what they want to be when they grow up. Surgery became a clear career decision because it provided instant results and changes in my patients' condition. To this day, I still get excited about going to the operating room and being able to immediately affect the lives of my patients. I specifically enjoy reconstructive surgery and hope to help people who suffer from congenital disorders, cancer, and trauma. My clinical interests include complex oncologic microsurgical reconstruction from head to toe. Additionally, I am interested in both dynamic and static facial reanimation procedures for adult and pediatric patients. In my free time, I enjoy spending time and traveling with friends and family.

I am a plastic and reconstructive surgeon offering both reconstructive and cosmetic procedures. My reconstructive practice focuses on comprehensive cancer and trauma reconstruction, with a particular emphasis on breast reconstruction. I specialize in microvascular surgery, enabling me to provide the full spectrum of reconstructive options. For both reconstructive and cosmetic patients, my approach is the same: I prioritize understanding my patients' goals, ensuring they comprehend their surgical options, and helping them choose the best procedure tailored to their needs.
