My skin has never looked this good! Thanks to Dr. Ford and Kristina Trunnell PA-C, I dont feel like a pimpled teenager anymore. Not only has my acne greatly decreased, their laser treatments and beauty products have done wonders for my acne scars and the bags under my eyes. Dr. Fords got great bedside manner, always smiling and happy to see me. Kristina actually takes the time to listen to ALL my concerns, something that is rare nowadays with Drs offices. Their staff puts me at ease and were very professional. (Kara the MA was great, she reassured me while I waited for the cream to set in). Kristina also treats my husband for his moles, my two daughters for their eczema and my son for his rashes. I know some people are upset with the insurance plan they chose and blame practitioners for bills but as patients we need to be cognizant of what our insurance covers, how we choose our insurance and the lawmakers who govern our healthcare.

I have been to Dr. Fords office 3 times in a year and a half for my now 13 yr old daughter. We did not have the pleasure of seeing Dr Ford but instead her assistant, Kristina. I feel that she was not sympathetic to my daughters issues of acne. As a 13 yr old child you already deal with so many other life issues that this is one more bump in the road. As she was looking for answers we felt that we were "wasting the assistants time". The assistant was VERY BIG into chemical peels and facials. As a mother I was not and am not, at this time, looking at that route for my daughter. We also waiting an hr (every time) we visited. We have another appointment set up with a different dermatology office in Hagerstown and are hoping for a more inviting and compassionate visit. If you like facials, botox, and chemical peels than Dr. Fords office is the place for you!

I have been Dr. Ford’s patient for more than 10 years. I met her when I needed to find out why my hair was disappearing in blotches from my head. Dr. Ford’s initial interview and evaluation was so thorough that I learned that there was a root cause to the hair loss and it was not normal. I thank her for this and she has continued to care for my dermatological needs throughout my bout with LUPUS. Dr. Ford’s dedication to her patients is paramount. She is kind and patient and her staff is always ready to help. I have recommended her to family and friends and they were very pleased with her.

Dr. Ford makes you feel like you are her one and only patient! She listens to your concerns and genuinely cares about your well-being. She is knowledgeable, and stays abreast of new research and treatment options in the field of dermatology. The entire staff are friendly and pleasant and Dr. Ford is willing to go the extra mile to take care of her patients. Over the years I have had several other dermatologists that were closer to home, but did not produce the results that I was looking for. Dr. Ford makes you feel like family, and is well worth the drive to Frederick!

Be careful with the hidden fees, new patient fee, "oh yeah your insurance will cover all of It!"....NOT! If the "assistant doctor" is your doctor they are a bunch of scam artists trying to get your money. $146 to be prescribed a lotion that didnt work. All that I needed was hydrocortisone. Meanwhile the doctor notices a wart on my finger and offers to freeze it off, later on I find out that was a damn expensive wart and it ended up coming back twice as big anyways. SAVE YOUR TIME AND SAVE YOUR MONEY AND GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Dr. Ford is fantastic! My experiences with Vanquish are amazing!! My size 6s are now too big in the waist and hips and Im now back into my size 4s! I cannot believe how fast I saw results in how my close fit! I went to the gym for three years trying to get the inches off! Exercising four to five times a week, dieting, but nothing worked! What Ive been trying to get rid of for three years is now gone in two months! I would highly recommend Vanquish!

Dr. Ford has taken care of my skin for over 15 years. Guiding me through my acne marred teenage years and into my adult and anti-aging/skin damage prevention years. She cleared up my shaving bumps ensuring I could be clean shaving for work. I still use a majority of the products she sells and recommends. And best of all I still get compliments on how great my skin looks and that I look 5 years younger than I am.

Dr. Ford has been our family dermatologist for 20 years. We love her positive and caring attitude and have complete trust in all of her treatment plans and recommendations. She is always up-to-date on new dermatological advances, whether medical or cosmetic. I particularly love her use of the Aerolase laser machine for skin rejuvenation. There is no down-time involved and the results are truly amazing!

I enjoyed my visit, Dr. Ford is so personable and very easy to talk with. My problem was correctly diagnosed and the treatment was successful. Elisha has a warm and friendly smile. She is very pleasant and professional. While in the waiting room you have the opportunity to watch tips for healthier living. If you are looking for a good dermatologist, I highly recommend Dr. Diane S. Ford.

Dr. Ford is an excellent dermatologist. She designed a personalized skin regimen for me consisting of SkinMedica and Replenix products that has left my skin looking smooth and youthful. My friends always inquire about what I’m using. Her extensive knowledge of the latest dermatology advancements has contributed to me looking much younger than I am and feeling confident.

Dr. Ford and Kristina Trunnell are truly incredible at what they do. For my last visit I was seen by P.A. Trunnell and she helped treat my dermatitis, something I have been struggling with my whole life. She took the time to understand how my condition is specific to me and I am happy to say that my dermatitis is no longer an issue! Great staff and friendly environment!

Dr Ford has been a vital asset to my healthcare team. She is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure my questions are answered or the issue is resolved. She is a a WEALTH of knowledge and I trust her opinion as much as any tertiary care provider. The staff in her office are also friendly and welcoming. I would recommend her to anyone seeking a dermatologist.

Wow, another great experience today. There is a warmth and family feel exuding in the air from both the staff and Dr. Ford. You can tell a lot about a leader when the staff is friendly and happy. Dr. Ford was very attentive and answered all of my questions in a very professional manner. I trust that I will have good results with what she recommended.

I love this office, they are really so helpful and thorough. I will never go to another dermatologist in Frederick because they just do such an amazing job and make everything so manageable. Even if you work full time and are worried about finding an appointment time that works, go ahead and book it because they will take good care of you.
