The 30 min wait was NO problem. He had apologized for the wait. He was obviously busy all morning and still spent time with me.

Ken Watford was extremely attentive, caring, concerned and knowledgeable regarding my ear issue. He gave me all the time I needed to address both my concerns and his suggestions for care. I would and will highly recommend him to anyone needing ENT services.

Can't say enough wonderful things about Kenneth Watford. The time, care, and concern he gives to his patients is unheard of this day & age - such a rare thing to see or experience in the medical system anymore these days. Can't speak highly enough about him!
