Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Stafford seems quite competent. However, his staff is either overworked or incompetent. Takes numerous calls to get response. Needed Dr approval to renew prescription. Last I heard, 5 days later, was that the pharmacy had made two inquiries for approval and had not heard back. He may be a good Dr but either he is a poor manager or just doesn't care. I'm through.

I've been going to Dr. Stafford for a couple of years now and have been very satisfied with his care. He is thorough and friendly and always asks the pertinent questions and prescribes proper remedies.

Total waste of my time and money - was 69 and ill when I saw him - did not pay attention to any of the reports/labs I brought in and just simply gave me a prescription for drugs without even taking the time to truly diagnose. Never filled the drugs px and never went back.You cannot find a decent doctor here in Florida - not only based on my experience but also the national statistics state that the worst doctors in the country are in good ole Florida.... as reported on TV-..good luck!!!
