Patient Satisfaction

How likely are you to recommend Dr. Safford?
Dr. Safford is a excellent, caring and compassionate primary doctor. I have been a patient of hers for 26 years.. She doesn’t just spend 15 minutes with me but takes as much time as I need. She makes sure I am current on my shots, mammogram, and other health recommendations. She does a thorough exam and wants to know if I have any concerns. I appreciate her excellent care for myself and all those she cares for. Thank you Dr. Safford!
