I met Dr. Bafford in March 2016 during my first surgery. And after that, I saw her again during this last surgery. She's a pleasant, caring woman who treats patients with respect and courtesy.

Dr. Bafford made me feel very comfortable by listening carefully to my concerns and thoroughly answered any questions I had. She spent quality time with me providing the most comforting and professional care. She is friendly and gentle. I never felt rushed during my visit. She provided some necessary supplies for home care of my post-surgical wound and explained thoroughly how to use them . I have been very pleased to have had her as my surgeon.

Provider was 10/10, I'd definitely recommend her. Very nice, very patient, extremely easy to talk too & was very gentle during exam. She stated her assistant would be in touch. [staff] called the next datmy and she was able to offer me a surgery date.

She is a good honest provider. I was going as a consult that another provider had given. I felt she did not want to jeopardize the other provider's choices so my visit wasShort.
