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.

Keep Looking
If there was a way to give negative stars I'd do that. If you are looking for a doctor to care for your elderly parent, keep looking. Danford is the WORST doctor EVER! As my elderly father lays in his hospital bed at home, this sorry excuse or a human cannot even be bothered to pick up the phone and return a call from my father's nurse. He's old and he's sick and he deserves someone who will care about him and help him! Danford has been impossible to deal with, refuses to return phone calls, and in general can't be bothered to care for his patient! I wouldn't trust this man with my dog! Don't chose this ridiculous situation for your family. Find a doctor who cares for his patients no matter what their age. A doctor who meant what he said when he took his oath. This man is NOT IT!

My 83 year old mother was a patient of his for 13+ years and we trusted him for all of her issues until she developed Alzheimer's. Not only did she get treated bad by the staff due to her illness Dr Danford did not even recognize her symptoms and SENT A LETTER TO HER CANCELING HER AS A PATIENT. There wasn't even an IN PERSON consultation to discuss the change in her behavior or a referral to a neurologist. It was inexcusable and shocking the way she was abandoned by her primary care physician
