He's very straight forward and professional. He's easy to talk to and challenges me to help me improve my health. I love his encouraging and friendly nature because he gives me items to work on between visits that makes me want to accomplish because I don't want to disappoint him because I can tell that he cares about me doing what's best for my long term health. I can tell he truly cares. I wish I could say that about all of the physicians I've seen.

Dr. Pickford has a straight-to-the-point character which can be off-putting to a lot of people. He is brutally honest, and expects patients to do as he advises. I find that better than being molly-coddled. Thanks to Dr. Pickford I am in process of losing the weight I need to, and on my way to feeling better!
