Biography:

Dr. Franz joined Evansville Radiology in 2017 and is a dedicated breast radiologist. While radiologists often work behind the scenes, her subspecialty allows for meaningful patient interaction—an aspect of care she values deeply.

She finds great fulfillment in guiding patients through their imaging results, taking time to explain findings, clarify next steps, and involve them in the decision-making process. Her approach is rooted in treating every patient with the same care and compassion she would want for her own family.

Dr. Franz is committed to delivering the highest quality care through clear communication and close collaboration with technologists, surgeons, oncologists, and pathologists. She believes this combination of teamwork and patient engagement is essential to achieving excellent imaging outcomes and comprehensive follow-up care—and is what led her to specialize in breast imaging.
