And recommend him for promotion, He has patience and patient at heart, smiles through out. I really appreciate him.
We had such a poor experience with this doctor that we sought out a second opinion at a different facility and will be continuing care there. I would not recommend.
Knows his stuff and was great at knowing how to talk to my 13 year old son!
He made the experience easy and fun by teasing my child and making him feel comfortable in the hospital.
Great office and staff very comfortable setting
Dr. Ford dismissed my concerns and a substantial difference in x-rays taken only weeks apart (both my Primary Children's hospital). He didn't care to figure out what the problem was. Instead of trying to see if we could prevent problems from getting worse, he told us to come back when they were worse and we could try to fix problems then. I was very disappointed.
Very kind and friendly and explained very well [TRANSLATED]

Very kind doctor with a great bedside manner. Had my one year old smiling and laughing during the appointment.
He was a jerk and would not listen to my concerns about my child's break. It was about 'the studies' and not about my child and what their needs are. He spent less time in the room with us than it took to find parking (10 minutes).
Great with teens! He set clear expectations and outcomes for my son which encouraged him to follow instructions to a T. The positive praise he gave for following the plan was a huge boost for my son. He was a great doctor to work with'although, we hope to never need to see him again.
Scott Ford was amazing. Extremely personable and related to my 12 year old. He also took time to explain the process and the costs associated. He is the best!

Such a better experience than what we had with Dr Holmes
Would definitely recommend Scott Ford as a provider. He is amazing with kids, and did a great job taking care of our 4 year old's broken arm.
Thanks for caring! It's evident that everyone that works at primary children's cares about children. ?
Dr Ford was great to work with. He didn't make me feel silly for coming to our appointment. He calmed my worries by educating me on my son's condition and what to expect in the future. He was great to work with and I'm glad I sought out his second opinion.
Dr. Ford was great! He was very kind, great bedside manner, and very knowledgeable. He helped us with the problem we came with and made sure we understood the next steps. We will be calling him again if the problem persists. Loved our visit with him!
Didn't spend any time with us. Never even addressed or spoke to my daughter. Didn't even evaluate her foot. We left the clinic and she asked for a new doctor
Dr. Ford is really good at keeping things brief without rushing you out. He was really good at interacting with my two year old so the checkup felt natural for her and she wasn't nervous.
