Dr. Francini Reviews
Based on: 1 review -Add review
I got an appointment when I needed one.
They kept things moving and on time during my visit.
I received a correct diagnosis and up-to-date treatment.
I was given specific advice on lifestyle changes I can make to improve my health.
The provider really listened, gave me the time I needed, and put me at ease.
We discussed treatment options and choices I have.
The provider addressed traditional and alternative medicine treatment options in an open-minded way.

Dr. A. Francini was the doctor who administered my first epidural back in 2008. I was sedated but shortly after the se...dation, nightmare broke loose. He did the epidural on my L4-L5, L5-S1 area and PUSHED THE NEEDLE TOO FAR and punctured a nerve. I was in excruciating pain in my "sleep" but I could feel my body shake uncontrollably and eventually passed out. Needless to say, this was an awful experience from this doctor.
Eventually, I found out that "Dr." Francini has been terminated from Newport Orthopedic in Newport Beach. He was replaced by Dr. Kim Safman, who is magnificent! Dr. Francini has had his share of complaints. Just google his name and you will see negative feedbacks about him.
The intent of this review is simply to warn people who may end up in his office. DO NOT ENTRUST YOUR HEALTH WITH THIS EMPTY DOCTOR. He has a propensity to screw up in such a high risk profession. He has no business being an orthopedic nor pain management doctor. He inflicts pain (call it BAD PAIN MANAGEMENT)! Conctact Newport Orthopedic for more information about this doctor. Save yourself and find another doctor, definitely NOT DR. ALEXANDER FRANCINI! more details
