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.

Dr. Ford is Great!
Dr. Ford listens to me, and always asks pertinent questions. He gives the best examination for the problem and can then diagnose it. His care is top notch and I find him quite personable. One of the best doctors I have.

I have been seeing Dr. Ford for about a month for a knee problem. I found him to be very thorough with his exam and he explained everything he was about to do in great detail. His bedside manner was excellent and I was impressed how kind he was. I am hoping I will feel some relief from my pain soon. I left the office confident that I was in good hands with Dr. Ford. Thank you so much.

Dr. Ford was rude and unkind during my visit. He showed me my X-ray and told me all old people have damage like that. I was in such pain I had difficulty walking, and he seemed to imply that I was lying or exaggerating. Until now, I have never left a doctors office feeling so much worse than when I arrived. I cannot caution people enough about this guy. Especially if you are elderly, I would avoid him the plague

I have been seeing Dr. Ford for a number of years for both knee and back issues. He has always been very through and caring. He takes the time to explain the results of any images taken and patiently discusses options/possible course of treatment. I have been pleased having him as my doctor.
