Patient Reviews
Jul 31, 2024
She is awesome, after seeing several eye surgeons to remove a cataract and being denied due to my rsd, I was at a loss. I was totally unable to see in my right eye due to the cataract and having a horrible retna tear in my left eye. Dr. Ford saw me and left me feeling extremely hopeful that on fact that cataract could be removed. A couple weeks later I had my cataract surgery and almost immediately could see. At first blurry but I could see. Before I only could see light. She did a fantastic job. Not only is she an incredible surgeon but her bedside manner is amazing. She's kind and takes time to explain things. She is the absolute best. Highly recommend.
