Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If i could give Dr Ford 10 stars i would! He is super patient, listens because he truly cares and explains everything very thoroughly.

This provider is not very empathetic. He does not have the maturity or know how to handle young patients going through extremely difficult life changing medical conditions. I have been a nurse for years and would not recommend this provider. He has a lot to learn on the meaning of patient centered care.

I absolutely love Dr Ford and his office staff. They are kind, knowledgable and I like how he is humble enough to really listen to his Patients but also very knowledgable.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ford's for going on 2 years. I am a nurse with many years of experience, so believe me I've met my share of crappy doctors (professionally and personally). This is not one of them. Takes as much time with me at my appointments as I need or want him to. I would personally recommend him to anyone.

Perhaps it is his personality.....but this doctor seems like he is guessing at every diagnosis (in my experience). He is probably a good person, but I need to be able to believe in a doctor. I can look up my symptoms online and make a good guess. He needs to be a more confident professional.

He was wonderful with my mother. He spent over an hour going over all her meds and her records answering and asking questions. Patient, kind and easy to talk to. This was her first visit, I think we were very lucky to find him

I wouldn't even give him one star honestly. He didn't even read my daughters chart (which is computer) and was about to prescribe her penicillin. She's deathly allergic to it! If i hadnt have said something he would have prescribed it to her. Very poor bedside manner and acted like we were interrupting his busy day.
