Dr Blair Ford is the quintessential doctor. I found him to be a very caring doctor who will spend as much time with me and will answer all my concerns. He cares not only for my physical problems but also my emotional ones. He gives me wonderful advice and makes me feel that life is worth living. I am lucky to have him as my doctor.

Dr.Ford recommended and supervised my DBS, deep brain stimulation surgery. This greatly improved my quality of life. Dr. Ford recognized me as a good candidate for DBS surgery and followed my progress throughout. He is an excellent and compassionate physician.

I have been seeing Dr. Blair Ford for 18 years for the treatment of my Parkinsons Disease. He is always thorough, asks a lot of questions, never feel rushed, listens carefully and makes changes in meds when necessary. He is very personable and I like him a lot.

Dr. Ford is my mother's neurologist and he is a godsend. We always look forward to the visits because he takes the time to listen and to answer all our questions. He is a warm, upbeat, caring doctor who is incredibly knowledgeable, one of the top specialists in his field. He's named as one of America's Best Doctors, and he's an award-winning teacher at Columbia. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

This doctor is arrogant, full of himself and does not listen to the patient at all and he thinks his diagnosis is it. Would not recommend this doctor.

My visit to see Dr. Ford was the worse experience I had. I would not recommend this doctor to my friends or my enemies.
