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.

Dr. Stalford and his team have always been five stars with my family! He takes such great care of us and actually listens and is genuinely an awesome Doctor and person! I trust my healthcare with him completely!

Wonderful ear Dr.! Dr. Stalford and his staff get 5 stars in my book. From the moment I met him, I knew he was going to be a good fit for me, mainly because of his bedside manor. He is very compassionate, gentle and respectful, all of which I appreciate in a Dr. The other people in the office were very positive as well. I have already recommended one friend and she loves him as well!

This is my 2nd experience with Dr Stalford. He is very personable, knows his stuff. He is also on time and preforms complete exams quickly. Then takes the time to thoroughly explain the medical condition and the recommend treatment. Great office staff and easy to make appointments. I would not hesitate to recommend him to my family and friends.

Love Dr. Stalford, but the billing at his office is TERRIBLE! Such a stressful experience dealing with them without ever being resolved. Sadly I must leave him to find an ENT through another hospital. Such a shame that he is with the park ridge network.

We were referred to Dr. Stalford by Dr. William Earnhardt and I am so thankful. Everything was easy from start to finish with my daughters nose surgery. You never enjoy having to go to the doctor, unfortunately, but if all experiences could be as good as this one it wouldn't be so bad. Everyone was very friendly and treated us with real concern. They took the time to explain the procedure and insurance coverage in detail. Dr. Stalford has a wonderful bedside manner. Highly recommend him.

From start to finish, this was an awesome experience. I talked to Amy at the front desk to explain my needs. She listened with empathy and her recommendations were on point! I was given an appointment within 10 days, for my 3 year old who has autism. We were called in within 5 minutes (with correct name pronounciation!). My daughter was kicking and screaming but no one gave us bad looks. Dr Stalford CAME OUT TO MY CAR TO SEE MY DAUGHTER! This doctor is WONDERFUL!!!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!!!!

Dr. Stalford was wonderful with my 15 year old daughters surgery. From his "bedside" manner to his wonderful surgical skills we could not have asked for a better experience!
