Dr. Ford is a good doctor. I went to him because my regular doctor referred me over to him. Dr. Ford is very careful...He didn't just jump in and do surgery on me because I had something going on, even though he could have. Dr. Ford has a good personality for a doctor. He makes you feel comfortable. The Staff in the whole office is really good!

Dr. Ford is a very "down to earth" type doctor. Very easy to talk to, very patient and makes you feel as though you are extremely important. Listens to my every word and did all things necessary to help me with my problems. I would not go anywhere else.

Dr. Ford was the oncall doctor when I went into labor with my son. I met him for the first time when he popped in my room and introduced himself to me. He then did the rest of my "care" by phone and I didn't see him again for 22 hours and I was pushing. My son was not in the correct position for birthing and several things were orderd that are contraindicated for the position he was in. My son ended up getting severly injured, spent several days in the NICU, and has had four surgeries to reconstruct damages and will have more in the future.
