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.

Dr. Pickford is always on time, listens to you and doesn’t treat you like a number. He’s also honest but delivers bad news in a thoughtful, empathetic manner.

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!

Dr Pickford is an exceptional doctor. He is very caring and is not in a hurry to get through the appointment. He involves me in my care to get me the best care possible. He even took the time to speak to doctors after being done in the office and then he called me at home to let me know I would be getting phone calls from these doctors. He said he worried about me and wanted to find out what was going on with me. He is the only doctor I have had that has called me at home. .
