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.

He may be a great physician but his nurse named “Bobby” is just flat rude. I don’t know if she’s just burned out or has lost her desire to serve in the medical field. I recently left several voice recordings requesting that she contact me regarding a medical issue that needed to be addressed by Dr. Ford. Calling his office was just a waste of my time and effort. If I have to change physicians so be it. In my opinion, she is hurting his practice and the reputation of the Gessler Clinic. ,

Dr. Ford listens carefully and explains his answer in terms that can be understood. Does not seem to be in a hurry like some doctors I have been to.

I have been seeing Dr. Ford for 16 years and he has helped me through many health issues and obstacles throughout my life. He is a wonderful physician and I have never felt rushed. You might wait a little longer to see him in the office but that is because he gives all of his patients the time that they need. I would highly recommend him!! I am also an M.D. and will continue to see him.

Very thorough. Extremely pleasant staff! From the receptionist to the nurse to the doctor, everyone seemed happy to be there and happy to help. I did not feel rushed all questions were answered and explained completely. A breath of fresh air when it comes to doctors office visits.

Dr. Ford has always treated me and my husband with concern and kindness. You don't mind waiting your turn when you know this doctor is going to see the whole person and not just the illness.
