We like Dr. Pickford. He is very thorough, listens when we have questions. Any referrals the doctor has the nurses sets them up.

He is willing to listen if you don’t agree with a recommendation and concerned enough to try another alternative test. I think this is a big plus for the patient. If I am to have a procedure done, I want to be sure it is necessary because I have studied the down side. Sometimes the causes are more important than the symptoms. If you eliminate the cause, the symptom may go away along with the procedure.

I highly recommend Dr. Pickford. He is a great doctor who truly listens to his patients and takes the time to explain the plan in a clear, down-to-earth way. You never feel rushed or like he’s trying to get you in and out. He makes sure you understand what’s going on and answers questions without pressure. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines knowledge, patience, and genuine care the way he does.

Dr. Pickford is without a doubt the very best medical practitioner, I have had the good fortune to be under care with. He saw me at my very worst, put a plan together to get me healthy, and all I had to do was follow his guidance. He is a wonderful human being as well as my Doctor!
