After bringing my daughter who is level 2 autistic, I started seeing great results after a few weeks. I had previously taken her to different doctors but nothing changed. She hardly slept at night & couldn't focus. After taking tests & getting to the root of the issues she had, the doctor created a specialized plan for her. I'm grateful for all the help. My daughter's behavior and focus continues to improve and she is sleeping better at night. In just a few weeks her health has improved.

Questions
What families ask most before getting started
What is the Franceschi Method®?
An individualized treatment protocol that combines conventional and complementary medicine with therapies that stimulate brain development, using cutting-edge equipment and evidence-based methods. Progress is continually measured and the protocol adjusted.
Is treatment drug-free?
Our treatments focus on identifying the cause of a symptom and helping the body improve or resolve the condition, instead of masking symptoms with medication. When medication is medically necessary, it becomes part of a comprehensive plan.
What happens at the first visit?
A three-part comprehensive evaluation, typically 1–1.5 hours with the physician and about 3 hours in the office, including medical and neurodevelopmental testing and an initial treatment plan.
Do you offer telemedicine?
Yes — telemedicine is available for patients in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico. International families are welcome at our Houston and San Juan centers.
Which languages do you support?
Care is offered in English and Spanish across our Houston and San Juan centers.
