Dr. Ford's office is always a pleasure to attend. Nikki is the BEST !! Lynn at the front desk is always eager to make your day better. Dr. Ford, though a young Dentist is an "Old School " type. Great office...call them for your next dental appointment..you will not be disappointed .

I cannot thank Christine, Andrea, and Dr Ford enough for their kindness and compassion regarding me having a rough day and a lot of dental/driving anxiety. I was sad after my first dentist retired and then we moved away from my second one. I feel the prices are very fair. The quality of care is above par.

I had new crowns and veneers done. Dr. Ford and Amanda were so professional and did amazing work. I looked for a long time to find the right practitioner and chose Ford Signature Dentistry. My teeth look awesome. They appear very natural and perfect at the same time. I would highly recommend Dr. Ford for any cosmetic procedure. His attention to detail was the best, and of course the office staff were all so caring and professional.

It is SO easy to recommend Ford Signature Dentistry to anyone I know at HP and in Fort Myers. They have taken perfect care of my husband and I for our dental needs since "the beginning" when Dr. DeCarlo retired, (and those were some big shoes to fill). It has been such a pleasure to watch the practice evolve from the style and personality of Dr. DeCarlo to Dr. Ford. They are tops in my book for professionalism, communication, and technology, as well as the quality of the their dental services. Their attention to detail in caring for their patients is truly 5 star rated.

Dr. Ford was fantastic. I get very nervous when I go to the dentist but the whole procedure from the needle to the replacing of a crown and a filling that I went in for was painless. Another plus is his staff is very friendly and courteous.

Love my implants from Dr Ford. His staff are all so nice. They get me in and out as quick as possible. And I am sent home with a fresh cookie. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dr. Ford and all of his staff are great! I have been to Melonie twice for cleanings and she is gentle and considerate, as well as professional and thorough. Dr. Ford has always been very patient and answers all my questions without rushing through. I worked with Lynn today up front and she was extremely helpful as well as interjecting some humor. Love that! Overall, this is the best dental practice I have ever been to.
