"My frist impression of Dr lord was that he knew just what he was talking about and took care of his patients.His Staff is great nothing but good to say about all of them.That he checks you from head to toe before you go to sugery he knows ahead if anything is wrong with you.His after care is great.He was to the point to let you know the ricks of bypass suregery.I would rate him a 10. both surgical competence and bed side manners are great.If I didn't give him a 10 i would not let him do my surgery. Update.......Dr Lord is great,the nicest,down to earth Dr i have met.I would recommend him to anyone."
