They were so supportive as I had difficulty urinating after the procedure. Dr. Ford was so down to earth that she herself brought me request cup of water. It was humbling. I've seen many VU doctors In a long list of departments over the past 3 years. This Is exactly the kind of doctor who needs to work In this clinic. Patients who need these services are already embarrassed and feeling vulnerable.

I was impressed with everyone I interacted with. Dr. Ford came in with very good understanding of my history and hopes for colostomy reversal. She was compassionate, kind, thorough with her explanation of my case and potential plans for moving forward, the possible risks & potential benefits. I am very pleased with the visit.
