Dr. Bedford is immensely helpful with a very difficult-to-treat condition I have. He is calm and thorough in his communication with me, and when I leave an appointment with him I feel confident, well informed, and have been given the opportunity to ask any questions I have.

I have had some serious medical problems over the last 10 years. Dr Bedford has always treated me, explained to me what was going on with my help, provided ongoing advice and ready to see me again with another health problem. I have never felt so well taken care of by any doctor.He has resolved my issues and referred me to next doctor for a permanent resolution of acid reflux
