James B Ford DDS

I can’t say enough about Dr. Ford. He does an amazing job on my teeth every time but also goes above and beyond. Whenever I chip my teeth (used to happen pretty frequently with stress and grinding) he gets me in very quickly and fixes my problem. He remembers everything about my life which makes my visits feel like I’m visiting a friend. I genuinely look forward to my dentist visits now and just recently sent my mom here as well. She kept raving about how great he was. I can’t recommend Dr. Ford enough!

I have been going to Dr. Ford for 7+ years. I never had any issue with any of the teeth he treated. He did follow-ups when needed and made sure I was happy with the treatment. He has always been very warm and friendly. I even started taking my whole family to his practice since I was very happy with the whole experience. I would recommend him to anyone based on my personal experience. Also, some people complained about parking but he does have two parking spots and usually there is always a spot available.

I am so thankful I found Dr. Ford and Kay. I have always had such traumatic experiences at the dentist. They were kind, calm understanding of my strange fears and I feel so grateful to have found them. If you need a dentist, this is your place. I promise you won’t regret it!!!

I can't believe I'm writing a review for a dentist. It's weird saying that I actually looked forward to making appointments here. Dr. Ford and Kay are great at conversation, almost to the point you forget they're stabbing your gums. I've never been so sad to move and find another dentist. What a strange world.

Dr. Ford has become my favorite Dentist. His offices are great and located in the heart of downtown (with parking for patients) His staff is friendly, nice, & skilled. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, talented, laid back dentist.

Update:

I wanted to update my review to reflect what I saw Dr Ford do in a crisis. There was a large auto accident that happened right out front of Dr. Fords office. Immediately, he came out to help the passengers and make sure everyone was okay. Even though a car had come up onto the sidewalk and into his office, breaking a very large window, he was more concerned with the people involved in the wreck. That kind of empathy and action to help others above one self is rare and cannot be measured in stars alone. A man of service to his community.

I saw Dr. Ford today for the first time and it was such a pleasant experience from start to finish (which I've never said before about any dentist). When I made my appointment a few weeks ago, the person I spoke to on the phone was extremely friendly and helpful. I received text reminders about the appt. and was able to fill out my paperwork beforehand from my phone. The front desk staff was super nice when I walked in today. Dr. Ford was thorough, friendly, explained what he was doing, and he made my visit a lot less painless than dentist visits usually are for me. The office was nice, clean, and very comfortable. Plus they have parking! Overall definitely a 5-star experience and he'll be my go-to dentist moving forward. Thank you!

Simply put, I had a fantastic experience. I am always stressed about going to see dentists, but Dr. Ford made me so at ease. This was my first appointment and it felt like I was with a friend (while also having my teeth examined and cleaned).
Intake process: Seamless
Quality: My teeth have never felt cleaner
Overall: Great dentist, great location for anyone who works or lives anywhere near downtown

I went to Dr. Ford years ago when I was living in the area, and he made going to the dentist a fun trip. Now that I am back in the area, I wanted to see him again as I thought he delivered excellent dental care. However, his receptionist, Kyle, did not make things easy at all. I requested a Saturday appointment only to be told, "they are booked way in advance." I was even having some dental issues only to continually to be rebuked by this "receptionist" who delivered poor customer service. I will try to go to Dr. Ford but right now, I am shopping for another dentist because of this "receptionist."

Dr. Ford's reputation precedes him. He is the best dentist in the greater Columbus area. One morning, I went to his office in a LOT of pain, not entirely sure if his office would cover me based on my insurance plan. When it was determined that they do not, Dr. Ford was more concerned about my well-being and pain level, than getting reimbursed through my insurance. He went ahead and helped me regardless.

I have a great appreciation for people in this industry that do it for the right reasons - they want to help people. Dr Ford is a great dentist and an even better person. I strongly recommend him.

I have never thought I would be recommending a dentist! Dr. Ford and his great team saved me a ton of money when my xrays showed I was developing cavities between my teeth. He gave me a prescription tooth paste (covered by insurance), gave me advice on the Listerine to buy, and recommended a water flosser. When I came back 6 months later, no sign of cavities on the xray! I am bummed that I moved out of town and have to find another dentist - I am writing this while searching for a dentist in my new city.
