Pretty friendly staff strongly recommend it

There is never a problem getting in to see Dr. Forde very the whole staff is very friendly and accocomadating .

Dr. Forde is always friendly and nice and.very professional. He is one of the best dentists I have ever had in a long and international life. Front desk is always welcoming and efficient as are all staff and hygienists. It feels like family! They know me by name when I enter. I have no fear or trepidation going to the dentist’s, as I had when younger.

When I go to Dr. Forde office, it is always a wonderful experience! I have several appointments because I need a lot of dental work to be done. The staff are awesome, they are professional and friendly. They generally care about their patients. I have a austic son and they explained everything to him and they really put you at ease. I strongly recommend that you check out Dr. Forde office if you are considering dental work. Dr. Forde is very kind and as a great sense of humor.

Betty was friendly and did a very good job.

Betty does an excellent job cleaning. Everyone is so pleasant and helpful. They are honest & don’t try to get you to do treatment you don’t need. I recommended someone today who is looking for a new practice Dr Forde is painless.

It was a very welcoming environment, the consultation gave me enough detailed information to help me move forward with my decision. I was very impressed with the relaxed but professional atmosphere. It was a great experience.

My visit was wonderful. I absolutely love Betty. She is very efficient and does a great job. Love going there because of Betty.

Competent and friendly dental staff —can’t beat that

Comfortable environment.

Very pleased staff and doctor all are very professional. What a great atmosphere I would highly recommend your services to anyone Thank you Nancy

Betty was great as usual.

Betty Always does a Great job. New sore gums after my cleanings. All the staff are very nice.

Betty and Dr. Forde are both really great!

Everyone very polite, hygienist very thorough.

Everything was handled smoothly and professionally. It was as pleasant as a trip to the dentist can be.

Betty is the best "tooth cleaner" in Albuquerque and Dr Forde does a very thorough exam!

Thank you for fitting me into your schedule and addressing the filling that came out. The whole experience was the best I’ve had in 10yrs !! 😉 Thank you very much. Amber Odell

All staff personable and professional

My experience has alway been good @ Dr. Forde office. Thank you for you help and kindness

I was visiting from out of town with a dental emergency. They were very responsive to get me in, facilitated a consult from a specialist and did the oral surgery and bone graft very quickly and effectively. I chose this dentist from high recommendations of relatives - I add my recommendations as well. I am extremely pleased with the entire experience.

Betty always does a great job. I don’t like when I call to make an appointment I have to call several times to schedule my appointment. Because you don’t always have someone answering the phones.

Always able to be seen, great work and very cohesive staff.

My regularly scheduled semi-annual annual checkup was completed by Betty ,Mrs. James Cole, an affable, informed, pleasant, highly trained professional Hygenist. Dr. Forde checked my entire mouth, asked pertinent, probing questions before declaring that my teeth & gums “GOOD”, asking if any soreness or problem arises that I call promptly.

Always Personable and professional and willing to help to make difficult schedules work.

They are very friendly and helpful. They let you know right away if there is anything wrong and if they scrape a tender spot on your gum. They also ask if you are doing okay during your cleaning. That type of courtesy is amazing.

I was able to get an emergency appointment right away! I was greeted well. Paulina was kind & helpful! I like Dr.Forde & told him I have been praying for years for the best Dentist 🙏 & the best Dental Makeover for me! I grew up with small spaced teeth & got braces @ Eastman Dental School . It helped some. But a Dentist in OK City wanted me to have braces again! I didn't want to so he took a few of my teeth out & put a bridge there on my lower left side. Now I'm having trouble w/ a tooth near this bridge! I wish I didn't let him remove my teeth to get a bridge! HELP please. Thanks. Niki

The staff is very good people and they are very good in what they do ,and not too for get they are very handsome group of people that really take good care of you while in ther care. They're the best .

I would recommend this place

I liked my new hygienist. Very professional.

Courteous and professional staff. Short wait time. Efficient service provided. Willing to work with me on the payment schedule.

Going to see my hygienist is a wonderful and rewarding experience, she is second to non!

You did everything well, great doctor, wonderful staff. Nobody likes to go to the doctor but you all make it a pleasant environment. I thank you and my teeth thank you, smile on.

You did everything VERY well Dr.Ford was great and the rest off the staff, they made me feel very welcome can't wait to go back to get my teeth.

Personable and professional staff! As I told the doctor about 3 months after having the implant installed I was chewing on the side of the mouth with the implant without a second thought, no chewing on the other side!! Felt natural. Banter with the doctor - he said what no Batman shirt - he had not seen me in over 6 months 😀 on

I love my dentist They always take care of me when i first got my first 4 implant I was scared but when I when I went back to get my other 2 implants it was nothing, I was in and out, some people can’t wear 4 implants they may need more that’s my experience tried 4 but the way my gums are I definitely needed more anyway good job 👏 Dr Ford. Awwwwsome work looking forward to getting my teeth put in super excited....

Betty is the best! Dr. Ford is very good.

I went in so afraid. I've had bad experiences with my teeth. But Mia, Dr. Forde, the hygienist, and the intake lady all were amazing!!! They all made me feel like I was important and needed special care and treatment. I've never felt that way before at a dental office. Dr. Forde was kind and caring. I am so glad that my son-in-law referred me to his dentist, Dr. Forde.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff!

My 6 month cleaning was a great visit.Betty does a GREAT JOB. She is so kind and very professional.Really having her she is good at what she does. Thank you

They all are awesome ! They are so very nice and knowledgeable. In all my years of going to the dentist they are the best.

Everyone was super nice starting at the front desk. I was given plenty of information and all my questions were answered.

This is the person at 505 980-6268. I think you have the wrong number for your patient Shelli. Please check your records and take me off your list. Thank you

I praise Dr. Forde and his staff for not suggestive selling dentistry. It is refreshing to have a dentist, hygienist that doesn’t try to find problems where none exist. Thanks!

Great very good and friendly.

Kept me informed as to what was happening. It takes a lot of the stress out if you know what is going on.

Wonderful as always to see Dr Forde and his great staff!

Staff are always professional and explains all process. Facility is always clean and staff practice patient safety, exam glove sterilize equipment.

I felt very comfortable and not judged. I hope all my visits will be the same.

The doc and staff kept me informed on what was going to be done and answered my questions. Professional!

Too expensive for someone on social security

Love Dr. Forde's dental office and staff!!❤Their attention to detail and their welcoming atmosphere make it always a pleasure to want to come back, especially with Mia the office manager and Bethanne the dental hygienist!!❤

Everyone was kind & considerate of my feelings and intentions. Instead of other dental practices telling me what was needed I was informed of my options of what could be done and what was necessary. Also was informed of the cost of all procedures & given the choice of what I would like done along with the long term implications of my decision. So far I have been very impressed with the work done & the kindness of of everyone I've met there. I'm actually looking forward to my next visit!

Love Betty ! She makes my dental experience wonderful! So friendly and efficient! Best Hygienist ever!

Your part was great but on my part I don't know what I was expecting. I was thinking my teeth would be snow white. But that's okay. Old people sometimes think different. Or their mind plays jokes on them. I'm okay. I was thinking that another procedure would be better. But I don't think so. Anyway thanks. Your staff personnel are All Great. Harold

A great experience as always. Betty is amazing and very caring.

My name is Katie....Betty is Fabulous!My husband and I have been her patient's for many years!!

Dr Forde and his staff are the best dental care I have ever received. And I decided to do veneers and love them.! Skilled, thoughtful, caring service. Lucky to have them in burque

Very nice and pleasant people. Betty was very gentle and caring. Dr. Colin Ford explains everything he is going to do. A very caring, sensitive, considerate, and compassionate doctor. I recommend doctor Ford to anyone that is apprehensive going to a dentist. I give 5 star rating.

From my first telephone inquiry, I felt a warm, friendly and caring attitude. In the office itself there was a relaxed, professional approach, and with good humor I was made to feel more like part of the family than just another patient. The dentist’s approach to dental care was exactly attuned to what I was looking for. I gained great confidence from the process of digital imaging and subsequent analysis of my dental needs. There was openness and transparency, and I was given a complete picture of charges. As a recent arrival in Albuquerque I could not have asked for a better dentist and dental staff, beyond all my expectations.

Great staff

It was beautiful and pain free dr Ford changed my mind about dentist he was very concerned if I was feeling any pain as he worked that was great, pain free thank you dr Ford's and wonderful staff

The ladies are wonderful, and patient. I will definitely recommend your clinic to everyone.

I couldn’t ask for a more professional and hospitable dental clinic. Dr Forde is as friendly as he is competent and Betty is simply an amazing hygienist. I am always treated more like a friend than a patient😁

Great dentist great people!

Every member of their team is very welcoming and generally nice people to be around. I had my teeth cleaned. The hygienist was an absolute sweetheart and Dr. Ford was prompt and didn’t keep me waiting after my teeth were done being polished and clean. I’ve been going there for about a year and half now and enjoy it thoroughly.

‘Puff Mama’ (she knows who she is) is one of the best hygienists I’ve ever had. She’s professional and efficient while sharing fun stories. Highly recommended! Michael Riley

Betty is the best!!!! Thank you for keeping my teeth & gums healthy.

I woke up Sunday morning, looked in my mirror 2 see my lower left cheek swollen like that of a squirrel that had camped @ the base of a large oak tree, having gorged on acorns. I sent a text 2 Betty @ 0645 Monday. When I called shortly after 0800, an unscheduled appointment was available @1000. Betty was already w/ a patient. Her most friendly Kansas farm girl counterpart was in & @ the ready, set 2 take x-rays which revealed a problematic abscess involving 2 upper, rear molars. Dr. Fords suggested a call be made to Dr. Chavez office 2 determine his availability. Fortunately, he was in & available following a procedure w/ a scheduled patient. Melissa was very accommodating & efficient in the registration process of a new patient. Dr. Chavez provided a comprehensive summary of the situation w/ alternative options & provided a timely prescription 2 address the abscess explaining that a review by my primary care physician of the prescription was next prior 2 scheduling the root canal & subsequent filling by Dr. Forde. The experience was timely & efficient. All staff in both practices demonstrated care, extreme competence, efficiency & professionalism.

Nice work! Professional, flexible and courteous as always.

Staff is very courteous, nice and clean office. Not very spacious how ever.

Betty is an excellent hygienist.

I appreciate being able to be seen by my fave hygienist, always receiving a reminder before my appointment and never having to wait to be seen. Doc is so polite and takes time to answer my questions fully.

A very friendly staff.

Kat is Fantastic! I value her advice as much as I value Dr Forde's advice. Dr Forde came in to check on me during my appointment with Kat. Will be removing bone spurs later. But Kat is the very best there is! I value her work and her advice so much! Give her a Raise! She is worth her weight in Gold Plated Platinum to your offices!
