Franklin is the longest regular journey to the Cashiers office – around forty-five minutes east, taking US-64 up onto the plateau. It is a mountain road and the drive time varies with weather and season more than distance alone suggests.
Because of that, appointments for Franklin patients are usually planned to do as much as possible in a single visit rather than splitting treatment across trips.
Treatment takes place at the Cashiers treatment menu, and the practice does not hold a separate address in Franklin.
| From | To | Approximate drive | Main route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Franklin, NC | Cashiers office | about 45 minutes | US-64 West then NC-28 |

Patients travel from Franklin for the same reason they travel to Sylva or Asheville – to be assessed by a physician rather than sold a treatment. Where the alternative involves a comparable drive anyway, the assessment becomes the deciding factor.
Scheduling is handled with the journey in mind. Combining treatments in one appointment, where that is clinically appropriate, is discussed openly rather than left for the patient to raise.
Nearby towns served from the same office include Highlands and the surrounding area, Sapphire and the surrounding area.
The first appointment is for assessment rather than treatment. You will talk through what prompted the enquiry, be examined, and get an honest view of what would and would not help. Whether treatment can follow on the same visit is confirmed when you book from Franklin.
Anita Dormer, MD is responsible for assessment, planning and treatment. The two-week review is with the same clinician, so there is no handover in the middle of your treatment plan.
There is no fixed price list on this page, and that is deliberate. Two people asking for the same treatment can need very different amounts of product across a different number of sessions. Costs are worked out at your assessment and confirmed before you commit to anything.
Around forty-five minutes on US-64 East, longer in poor weather or heavy season traffic. It is a mountain route, so allow more time than the mileage suggests.
