Services
Some of the services you will receive as a member of my practice:
Little or no office waiting room time, and longer appointments
Office visits will start promptly. Appointments will generally be scheduled for approximately 30 minutes, but some appointments (for example, a Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment) will be scheduled for approximately 60 minutes. My aim is to afford you the time to thoroughly address all your questions and concerns, regardless of the reason for your visit.
Strong focus on preventive medicine and long-term health and wellness
As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, my philosophy is to educate you about the importance of fitness, weight management, healthy living and, in addition to the clinical services I already offer through my practice, I will assist you to identify and evaluate wellness providers and offerings. This will support your effort to take an active role in managing and maintaining your good health.
Enhanced Communications
During Business Hours
When you call my office during office hours there will be no recording to navigate…only real people to take your call, with a real concern for your health and well-being. In the event that you need to leave a message, your phone call will be returned promptly.
After Hours
A dedicated after-hours phone number is provided to you. This allows easy and direct communications for urgent medical problems that occur outside of my regular office hours. I will use my reasonable best efforts to be available to hear from you when you are ill or injured, to coordinate your care. For emergencies, however, always call 911 first.
Kind words about Dr. Ford’s concierge practice:
Best decision we ever made concerning our health care by joining Dr. Ford’s concierge practice. Dr. Ford is a caring doctor that is always available to address our questions and medical needs.
The whole concept of concierge medical care has worked perfectly for me. The service, care and responsiveness is exceptional.
Your health and Healthcare are important to you, that’s why you’re reading this. I followed Dr. Ford from his group practice to his now private practice for one reason –I wanted the BEST physician to be found who would take the time to know me listen and engage in fact based conversation about my health and well being. I hit all of these points and received a doctor who can help me when I am perfectly healthy and as I found out last year when I really needed help in an emergency. I have the highest regard for Dr. Ford and he has proven himself to be the best time after time. Thank you Dr. Ford and Rivertowns Medicine.
