    Dr. Ford is by far the best Doctor I have ever had. As I said in my review he is the best. So compassionate and really takes an interest in you and listens. So down to earth. You never feel like he's in a rush. I have been seeing him for 15 years and he always asks about my family. Other doctors should take a page out of his book.
