Dr. Francisco joined Fremont Orthopaedics in 2017 and is a co-owner of the practice. Dr. Francisco grew up in rural Southern Utah, working on farms and enjoying all that a small town has to offer, particularly fishing, horses, and hunting. Dr. Francisco became a ceramic artist during high school and was awarded a scholarship for his artistic talents to Utah State University. He had intentions of becoming a professional artist, but after a two-year mission for his church in Russia, he changed his career aspirations to medicine. While attending Utah State University, Dr. Francisco met and married his wife, Jan, and together they moved to San Antonio, Texas, for Dr. Francisco to attend medical school, residency, and fellowship. Dr. Francisco and his wife Jan have six children and together put their heart and soul into helping them become independent, productive adults.
