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.

My office visits were very efficient and informative. Dr. Ford thoroughly explained the surgical procedure. I was well informed. On the day of the procedure, he spoke with me prior to the surgery and reassured me about the medical procedure. He answered all of my questions. The staff at his office and in the surgery center were wonderful. The front desk personnel are very polite and helpful. The medical staff was very nice and attentive. I would recommend Dr. Ford to my family and friends. My experience was pleasant.

I recently had surgery performed by Dr. Ford of Tri County Surgical Associates. I cannot commend Dr Ford and his staff enough for their professionalism, attention to detail and ease to work with. Especially Sarah, his office nurse and the ladies at the reception desk who were so helpful in working with me and my scheduling issues. The surgery and healing went without a hitch and I thank Dr Ford and staff and would highly recommend them.

Dr. Ford and his staff operate on a professional level. If you have questions or concerns you can call and they will either answer the question or call you back soon with the answer. My hernia surgery went well with Dr. Ford and his staff

Dr. Ford did a left adrenalectomy on me June 18,2019. His care if not just me as the patient but kindness to my family and explaining everything helped ease the stress of the situation. I would highly recommend Dr.Ford .

Tri-County Surgical Associates with Dr. Ford turned out to be a blessing. All of the staff were both friendly and very professional. You get the feeling that they are really concerned about your health and want to help. My wife and I could not have been more satisfied with our visit and follow on surgery.

I would recommend Dr. Ford very highly. He explained everything and was very thoughtful tome as he saw I was nervous. Came to see me after operation to see how I was doing and if I needed anything. When I went to his office he was just as kind and told me to call anytime if I had any questions, even if I thought they were silly.

Dr. Ford was highly recommended by another reputable and well-known physician. I was anxious at first--nobody actually looks forward to surgery--but Dr. Ford immediately put my mind at ease by describing his procedure and taking the time to answer all my questions. I never felt rushed. My surgery was a great success, and I am healing nicely. I am glad I chose him, and I would do it again.

Dr. David W. Ford is an excellent surgeon as well as an outstanding human being. He is very friendly and his staff go above and beyond their normal daily task to help you with any concerns you might have with scheduling your surgery, pre-op, post-op, your healing process, etc. After his staff helped me prepare for surgery, his scheduler ask me if she could do anything else for me? Jokingly, I ask if she could loan me $200, she then began to search her purse. My surgery was a complete success.
