Our Patients Say It Best

Although I haven't had my surgery yet, I had the best consultation I could have hoped for. I've met with more than a few plastic surgeons and I have never felt more comfortable than I do with Dr Ford. This includes my first surgeon. I will update after my surgery is done but she made me feel so welcomed and comfortable that I asked her to do my surgery that week. She is so thorough and takes all precautions that I'm glad she made me wait. She is so kind and understanding it almost makes you feel like you're talking to a friend. I can't wait for my surgery. So wonderful I can't express it enough.
Everyone was so friendly! Dr Rachel Ford was so nice she explained everything so well. She made me feel comfortable.
Dr Ford, is so pleasant and always takes the time to answer all my questions. I only go to her for injections.
Dr. Ford is just magical. Her work has changed my life. She is just gifted in her abilities. [Single best thing is...] How she was able to achieve the results she did with such little to work with. My results were way beyond my expectations.
Dr. Ford was very thorough in her assessment. She took her time to answer all questions I had, and she made me feel comfortable instantaneously.
Dr. Ford was amazing on explaining everything to us. Vinnie was very helpful throughout the process, we absolutely love her. The office was very clean and organized. We are very happy we chose your office.
Dr. Ford prior to surgery is very thorough in telling you what to expect and her kindness and warmth make you feel at ease. After surgery she called my husband to see how I was doing . My results are amazing and continue to improve weekly like she says. I have always wanted a tummy tuck and I decided to do a mommy make over. The results of my tummy tuck are just astounding, you'd never know I have three children, and love love the results. My breast augmentation is as well awesome results.
The staff was amazing. Dr. Ford was just delightful. I felt comfortable, all my questions were answered, and the entire staff were knowledgeable.
From the moment I checked, Jacqueline my intake nurse was so kind & explained everything that was going on. The anesthesiologist was also really kind & put me at ease. When I was wheeled in for the actual surgery the rest of the staff was welcoming & let me know I was in good hands. Dr. Ford is not just kind but extremely knowledgeable and talented, she exceeded my expectations of the outcome of my surgery.
I am very impressed with Dr Ford. She listened to what I am wanting and gave me her recommendations. I am so excited!
