About Me
Dr. Joshua Ford is a board-certified ophthalmologist with advanced fellowship training in ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery and orbital oncology. He cares for patients with eyelid, tear-duct, and orbital concerns, taking time to understand symptoms, goals, and how vision or appearance changes are affecting daily life.
His clinical work includes evaluation and surgical treatment for droopy eyelids (ptosis), upper and lower eyelid blepharoplasty, brow lift, and correction of eyelid malposition such as entropion and ectropion. He also treats tearing from blocked tear drainage with tear-duct surgery (dacryocystorhinostomy/DCR), and provides care for thyroid eye disease. When orbital tumors or eyelid cancers are suspected, he guides patients through diagnosis, biopsy when needed, and coordinated treatment planning.
Dr. Ford completed medical training at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, an ophthalmology residency at Tulane University, and an ASOPRS fellowship at MD Anderson Cancer Center. He also serves Veterans through his clinical leadership and teaching roles.
