out of Read Reviews for Dr. Richard Ford
I'm reviewing a procedure I had with Dr Ford in 1985. He performed two root canals on my #41 & #42 incisors, and though #41 seemed ok, #42 started giving me intermittent trouble starting about 1991. He should have referred me to a specialist. I would get a dull pain in my chin every now and then, and in 2012 I had an eruption on the bottom of my chin. It healed, but in 2015, I had my eye tooth next to #42 develop an abscess, and it was revealed in the X-Rays that the root canal done on #42 left about a centimeter of root undone. It had been getting infected on and off through the years, and now I have to get it fixed properly. If you had spent less time flirting with your Assistant/Hygienist at the time and more time paying attention to what you were doing, or better yet, refer me to a specialist instead of trying to do endodontics yourself, this wouldn't be an issue. But you don't have to worry about that thirty years later. I do.
That said, you did a great job with fillings back then. Still have some you did, and they still pass muster. Just don't have root canals done by this guy.
My Experience: Root Canal
Duration: Not long enough.

Great doctor, always does great work. Hygienist is very professional. Office staff is friendly, helpful, and extremely professional. Always seems to process the insurance correctly and keeps my cost down.
I would recommend this dentist/office to anyone looking for a doctor they can trust to do the dental work right.

I have seen Dr. Ford for many years. The biggest complaint would probably be how boring his office is. The same faded photos have been on the walls for years. His wife, the receptionist, has also had some attitude when appointments were rescheduled, etc. Overall, a pretty cheap place but my teeth stay in!

Dr. Ford is the only dentist I will see. Every member in my family from aunts and uncles to second cousins to my family see him. Him and his wife Barb have the best office...welcoming all ages!!

Dr. Ford has a great sense of humor, he's down to earth, efficient, and very kind. His small, friendly staff is wonderful; his wife is his office manager. They all remember details about your life, which shows they actually listen and care about their patients. I've been a patient for 15 years now. I've never had a need for anything major, except a few years ago. Dr. Ford and his staff were very helpful with my night-guard fitting, adjustments, maintenance, etc. Genuinely nice people, no phony-friendly dental care facade--this is the real thing. And his hygientist, who's been there a long-time, is excellent!
