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.

We have been going to this office for 14 years. We have always found Dr. Stafford to be a good listener, thorough and to address the problems we came in with. It is true there is usually a wait, but the staff are honest about telling you if there is a backlog and how long the wait is. Came in with a neighbor once who had cut his hand badly on a hedgetrimmer. The hand was stitched on the spot . Would recommend this doctor and his PA!!

He incorrectly diagnosed several illnesses. He doesn’t seem to have a good comprehension of medicine.

If you cannot get an appt with his PA's you'll be at LEAST 60 minutes behind schedule with Stafford. There's no such thing as an emergency appt, they will tell you to go to Med Express instead. (kidney infections, flu season, bronchitis, it doesn't matter, go to ER or MedExpress)

Was seeing Dr Stafford for a year and went in once every three months for check up and prescription reliefs and over the course of that same year I just started to feel sicker. I was exhausted all the time with nausea, stomach aches and my sleep was a wreck. He never once tried to treat or figure out what may be causing it turns out I had Kidney Cancer, anemia and none functioning gallbladder. My surgeon told me had I waited 1 more month he couldn't guarantee he would have caught it in time.

Was a patient for 6 years: office is very unorganized- I received wrong fasting instructions for procedures at least twice. It is almost impossible to get an appointment within a week, and they have, hands-down, the WORST receptionists.
