Dr. Ford is dedicated to helping her patients achieve healthy and radiant skin. She is excited to have the opportunity to work with you. Microneedling is a treatment that may benefit patients with severe acne. EndyMed's Intensif is the only FDA-cleared motorized microneedle technology that does not have an insulated motor. EndyMed’s 3DEEP technology powers the Intensif and sets it apart from other microneedle systems. Intensif’s smooth, quick, and proprietary operating method makes it stand out.

Dr. Ford has numerous positive reviews from patients who laud her treatment of their skin problems. They admire her calmness and practical yet considerate bedside etiquette. Her patients' high praise extends to her empathetic staff. The receptionist has succeeded in scheduling patients’ appointments and reassuring them through follow-up calls. Even the nurses and tech staff are top-rated, described as compassionate, caring, and attentive. Dr. Ford and her dermatological team have saved their patients' lives multiple times by detecting melanomas and skin cancers early. These medical breakthroughs occurred over decades and in some patients were life-defining. However, one recurring issue threatened to spoil her perfect score box. Her practice was greeting patients and turned away longtime patients but labelled them new after some years. A few of these previous patients were visited and not recognised, resulting in wasted visits and flaming reviews. Even amid this chaos, the reminder of her former ability to care for her patients thoroughly tainted her dedication to patient care. It is rare to find such a highly-rated dermatologist, but a few challenging booking experiences should not deter patients. All that counts is the patients that their dermatologist can save when dermatology is either non-effective. In all, Dr. Ford and her office have many highlights, but the few lowlights are equally significant, making her a 4-star dermatology practice.
