Dr. Dale Franks began his professional career as a dentist specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery. During his oral surgery training in New York, he had the opportunity to work extensively with a plastic surgeon who specialized in the reconstruction of cleft lips and palates. Dr. Franks' passion was ignited and he began a personal journey to pursue a career as a plastic surgeon specializing in craniofacial and children's reconstructive surgery. Having already attained a dental degree and completed training as an oral maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Franks was accepted in advanced standing to Eastern Virginia Medical School. After earning his medical degree, Dr. Franks spent time working alongside Dr. Bill Magee, co-founder of the international organization Operation Smile.

He then went on to complete his general surgery training in Pittsburgh and his plastic reconstructive surgery training in Chattanooga, Tennessee under the mentorship of Dr. Larry Sargent. Dr. Sargent is recognized for his expertise in complex facial and orbital reconstruction. Finally, his many years of extensive training and hard work were acknowledged by his acceptance to the Craniofacial and Childrens Reconstructive Fellowship at New York University School of Medicine's Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. During his fellowship, Dr. Franks was trained by experts in the fields of craniofacial surgery, ear reconstruction, cleft lip and palate surgery and vascular tumors.
