You guys were very nice and helpful.
Thorough, good listener
Awesome doctor and staff. Very thorough
Dr. Ford and her staff took very good care of me today.
Ashley was extremely helpful and knowledgeable.
I needed specialized glasses for playing in an orchestra and also have eye conditions that make prescribing glasses more complex than usual. Dr. Ford took a lot of time with me to insure that my new prescription would be the best possible. She is extremely thorough, patient, and caring.
Great people, very efficient operation. Great job
She's easy to talk to, explains things in a way that I understand. She gives options and is very nice.
I've gone to several doctors to get my eye exams in GJ - Dr Ford is the best!
Very nice and knowledgeable
