I've had several visits with Dr. Ford only bc it is like trying to find a needle in a haystack to locate a African American Dermatologist. Therefore, I had no other choice. I will not be returning though there has been reasons previously for me not to return. At my last visit, she expressed to me her frustration when prescribing or instructing patience to do something and, without getting the full understanding AS TO WHY they decided to stop the Meds., she vented on me which I Do Not appreciate, very Unprofessional to say the least. I Will gladly seek out a dermatologist elsewhere.

Tormented by a rash on my lower face that would not go away, I finally got up the courage to see a doctor and am so lucky that I found Dr. Ford. Her office is conveniently located with ample free parking. Her staff is friendly and helpful. It took just minutes to fill out the necessary information forms on a computer tablet and I waited for less than five minutes before being shown into an exam room. Dr. Ford is warm and kind, the sort of caring physician that inspires confidence and trust. She quickly diagnosed my problem and provided me with the necessary medication without requiring that I fill a prescription. We set up a followup appointment with a plan to work on a maintenance program to prevent future breakouts. I just wish I could see her for all my medical needs.

very good experience with people of coloran area neglected or where other doctors are ill at ease or hampered by their own bias and lack of experience with different types of skin. Also some other doctors do not realize or appreciate that darker skin is very sensitive, also tans in the summer and scars more easily in response to trauma. Dr. Ford has experience with black and white patients and is able to bring that into her practice to offer the best in personalized care.
