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.

Being diagnosed with an extremely rare form of Leukemia was very frightening. Dr. Ford helped make this more bearable by telling me about my condition in term easily understandable. She answered all my questions and explained the treatment. She and her team are always easily reached and I would recommend her to anyone who is in need of a hemotologist oncologist.

Dr Patricia Ford is such a wonderful and caring physician. She has a very calming demeanor and is always empathetic to issues which may be of concern to you. I have been discharged from her car which was very happy and sad. I will miss Dr. Ford and all of her staff. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends.
