Review for Dr. Ford
I saw Dr. Enderton following a missed miscarriage. I was waiting for it to happen still and finding out what options I had medically, and naturally. While I do give her credit for providing information she should not be working with women who have had a miscarriage. She offered no compassion and...

We saw Dr Ford last year as a result of my husband having tumors in his bladder. He was sent to Kaweah Delta and Dr Ford was rude when he met my husband, told him he really had no time for him and probably wouldn't get to the surgery for a day or two.
