Dr Ford sets a plan of action and is straight to the point of what needs to be done. I have been to him a hand full of times and he has helped me put a plan in place. Very satisfied with his ability to get my pain under control and his approach to do so. Very personal and to the point. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Ford is well respected in his field and came as a referral. I have seen him for two different problems and each time I have been more than satisfied with his treatment. He respects his patients and spends as much time as you need to answer all of your questions and concerns. He also has an excellent bedside manner.
