Dr. Ford was fantastic. She showed up per op to spend some time explaining what was going to happen and the best part was we prayed prior to the operation. I do not remember anything during until after I woke up (post op). I had zero pain, zero discomfort. The only thing I wanted was Food. I fail to see why people I have talked to say it was so painful afterwards. I give kudos to Dr. Ford for the success of this.
“Best Thoracic Surgeon Ever!”

I am so grateful to have had Dr. Ford as my surgeon. She was very informative and took all the time I needed to explain my condition, prognosis and procedure. Not only was she available for me, but she was readily available to answer any questions or concerns my immediate family had. She took time to answer those questions and never made us feel as if she was in a rush to leave. Day of surgery, she came to see me and yet again with her calming demeanor, reassured me everything would be ok and it was.
“Dr Ford is phenomenal, she explained in detail my procedure and her calmness was very reassuring ”
