"Dr. Christine Ford is a fellow Cal alum but, I assure you, that is not why I am here and it hasn't influenced this review. (Still, GO BEARS!) As a long time, very satisfied patient of Dr. Ford, I can say with confidence that you will find her to be both an extraordinary periodontist and a genuinely caring, empathetic and kind person. Did I mention witty and a pleasure to be around? That she has surrounded herself with a team of hygienists, assistants and office staff who are equally professional, caring and kind-hearted is to her great credit and theirs; I truly appreciate each and every one of these hard-working women, too. While Dr. Ford's bio (check it out at her website, santarosaperio.com) speaks to her extensive education and training, there is much more to this woman than an impressive resume. She is committed not only to pursuing and mastering the most innovative periodontal technologies, therapies and materials available, but to achieving the absolute best possible clinical and esthetic outcomes, as well. (I was distressed to learn at one point that I needed two quite complicated implants, but the process was all but painless and the results were fantastic . . . and gorgeous!) Dr. Ford maintains a highly progressive practice with unquestionable integrity and ethics, leading her to a treatment approach that is thoughtful and undogmatic; I can trust that she will recommend the more conservative option first, where such is warranted, without having to worry that she has a built-in bias toward a more invasive, possibly unnecessary, one. She is always willing to devote whatever time may be necessary in order to answer all of my questions and does a wonderful job of explaining procedures in terms that I, as a lay person, can understand. I could not recommend Dr. Ford more enthusiastically or with greater faith in her knowledge, professionalism and character."

"If you want the best possible dental care there is, you will find it with Dr. Christine Ford. Dr. Ford provides a standard of excellence in care giving that is felt from the moment you enter her office. If that weren't enough, Dr. Ford is exceedingly professional in her care and at the same time she is very down to earth and humble with a great sense of humor to boot. Not convinced?! Dr. Ford makes her excellent care available to all. My partner needed care but we couldn't afford to pay. Dr. Ford gladly set up a payment plan with us so we could receive care. Dr. Ford's office is a woman owned and operated business. Dr. Ford is a rare gem with her skill set and the kind person she is - you won't be disappointed. In addition, the dental hygienists, dental assistants and office staff are all highly professional, conscientious and a pleasure to deal with. You won't find better care than from Dr. Ford and her team. She is the best".

"I have been a patient since 2004 and have always been well cared for by Dr. Ford and her entire staff. In particular, Dr. Ford has a very caring manner and calmness about her that is very reassuring and comforting. When recommending treatment and/or a procedure she is factual and honest but has never made me feel under pressure. I have had two surgeries, one in 2007 and the other this month and both times was more than satisfied with the results as well as the pre and post-operative care. Probably what I appreciate the most is that Dr. Ford's surgical patients are given her personal cell phone number and that she is sincere when she says to call her day or night, weekends, Holidays - whenever you feel you have an urgent need. She is clearly a dedicated professional."

Dear Dr. Ford
You and your office family have done such a lovely job of “mothering” me through a difficult time. I’m sure you too, will be well tended to.
