Dr. Baez is truly an exceptional physician. From the moment you walk into her office, she makes you feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. She takes the time to explain every detail with clarity and patience, ensuring you fully understand your treatment and feel confident in every step. Her professionalism is matched only by her compassion, and it’s clear that she is deeply committed to her patients’ well-being. What sets her apart is her ability to combine medical expertise with a warm, human touch. She listens attentively, never rushes appointments, and always follows up with genuine concern. Thanks to her dedication, I’ve felt supported and reassured throughout my entire care process. I’m incredibly grateful to have found such a knowledgeable, attentive, and trustworthy doctor. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking outstanding medical care.

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.
