Outstanding! Dr. Stanford is great and trust him without question.
Bedside manner is worth the drive for me!
I absolutely love Dr Stanford. He has the best manners with his patients, he makes sure that we understand in plain English what's going on and what the next steps should be or can be. I definitely give him a 10/10 !!! The staff is just as polite and respectful also!!
Dr Stanford is very friendly and personable and a great hip surgeon!
Best orthopedic around by far
Great Doctor!! Trust him to do whatever I need to have done. 😊
Going to TOC is a great experience! Staff are kind, thoughtful and helpful. Dr. Stanford had read my chat from a visit a year and a half ago and reminded me of things I had forgotten. He listens, questions and explains everything clearly. He understood my pain and scheduled surgery as soon as possible. He explained about the surgery and recovery in detail. He also included my adult blind, mentally challenged son in the conversation, making him feel important. Truly, Dr. Stanford and his staff are blessings from God!!
Very good doctor. Patience and gives good advice. Trustworthy
Very personable and reassuring
Extremely knowledgeable and caring in my situation.
