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.

The staff is always friendly. Dr Ford is a very experienced doctor that listens well, and he cares about his patients. He is able to perform many different procedures to help you. He has been a life saver to me and other family members. I highly recommend him. Also if you use recreational drugs/alcohol you will not be prescribed anything from Dr. Ford as he is very stringent to abide by all the laws governing his practice.

He is an excellent Dr. He cares and doesn't take you off meds unless you fail a drug test. I have been going to him for over 5 yrs. and have never seen him act paranoid. The whole team is caring and listens to what is going on. If it weren't for Dr. ford I wouldn't be able to walk without my cane due to pain nor would I be able to deal with my migraines. Dr. Ford and his team are amazing and kind. If you cant stay off drugs nor take your medicine appropriately there is no need going there., because he abides by the laws set it place. The reviews written putting him down are not true, I can honestly say they are an amazing team and give top of the line treatment. Love this office they have helped me so much

I agree with so many of the others complaints. There is something fishy going on at Dr. Ford's place. He comes in very moody and paranoid about the op epidemic. Threatens to quit. Says frequently they are out to get him. So many PAs come and go - I saw someone new each time I went. The PAs were fine but Dr. Ford certainly wasn't - he is not patient friendly. I haven't recommended him for two years to anyone! I switched and really like my current pain management physician.
