    This place is wonderful. From reception to the doctor. I saw Dr. Ford and he is very kind and does everything he can for you. Very calming and does not rush you at all. Makes sure you understand everything he has spoken to you about. Really a great place!

    My recent visits to see Dr Ford were completely positive. I went for lower back pain that had sent me to the ER just days prior. During my initial visit Dr. Ford went over my intake information, and background of what sent me to the ER. He conducted a thorough exam and asked questions that led us to a plan of care. One of the things I most appreciated is that he took the time to go over both my CT and MRI scans with me. It was the first time someone explained to me in detail an MRI and I was confident enough to know what I was looking at, which allowed me as a patient to make an informed decision.I’m now 4wks into my physical therapy and doing 50-60% better and feel stronger than prior to my injury. I have read some of the other reviews and I can say yes, I’ve had to wait 20-30mins after checking in, but it’s because Dr. Ford is usually with another patient and he’s not the type to rush you out the door, I feel he is truly invested in my recovery.

    Nick did an unusually good patient review that made me feel listened to. Dr. Ford was his standard professsional self and assured me they would do what they could to get SS to approve injections for my knee.

    I went to Seacoast a few years back for a second opinion on a knee injury. I saw Dr. Ford, who looked at the x rays and had a simpler fix. So when I hurt my knee again( jumped off a rock and....ouch) I knew exactly where to go. The professionalism from the front desk, x Ray tech and Dr. Ford are exactly how I perceive an office should be. Today, back on my feet...and thankful for Seacoast orthopedics. Top notch!!
