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.

Office does not answer phone. Staff fails to call in prescriptions after numerous reminders. Physician and staff do not follow up on test results and sent letter closing office, but failed to forward records to new physician.

Dr. Ford is an excellent and caring doctor. We were his patients for many happy years. However, competent staff left his office, replaced by a series of new employees and an ineffective office manager. This resulted in x-rays of mine showing bone on bone contact not being brought to the doctor's attention, failure to get multiple referrals and authorizations from my insurance company, and other offices having to step in to help. Seeing proof of these errors, he discharged me vs. fixing staff.
