Our Doctors
Dr. Franco has been part of the Hinsdale Pediatrics family since 1995, and she cherishes the opportunity to help her patients as they grow up:
"My favorite part of being a pediatrician is seeing a patient from birth until they graduate from college, and getting to know the entire family along the way."
Dr. Franco’s patients and colleagues feel the same way - she’s been voted one of Chicago’s Top Docs in Chicago Magazine! She truly enjoys being able to teach new parents about their baby, and also educate her patients on how to maintain good health into adulthood.
Married to her high school sweetheart, Dr. Franco likes staying active by playing tennis, spinning, and walking Boo, their Shiba Inu! Dr. Franco and her husband are proud parents to their daughter, a future doctor, and their son, a talented baseball player currently in college. They’re also future in-laws to a future pediatrician!
Dr. Franco earned her undergraduate degree at Illinois State University. She went on to receive her medical degree at the University of Wisconsin, and completed her residency training at the University of Chicago. A board-certified pediatrician, she stays active in the local medical community. Dr. Franco is a past chair of the Department of Pediatrics at Adventist Hinsdale Hospital, and currently serves on the peer review and pediatric operational committees.
