Lori Janine Ford, MD

With a deep passion for breast surgery, my philosophy is rooted in providing women with comprehensive care and empowering them with knowledge. Breast cancer presents a diverse range of treatment options, including surgical interventions. This commitment was further reinforced by my mother's breast cancer diagnosis, which strengthened my resolve to serve in this field. In addressing breast cancer, I firmly believe in a multi-disciplinary approach. Collaborating closely with medical oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, and plastic surgeons, we form a cohesive team focused on delivering the best outcomes for our patients. My dedication extends beyond the operating room, as I am committed to bringing high-quality medical care to the community of Southern Oklahoma. This region holds a special place in my heart, as it?s where I grew up, and I view it as my duty to give back to the community that nurtured me.

As an orthopedic surgeon, I'm driven by the profound impact that restoring function and alleviating pain has on the lives of my patients. My commitment to providing up-to-date, evidence-based care ensures the highest quality for each one of my patients. I take great pride in offering minimally invasive robotic joint replacement surgery, as it improves surgical precision and promotes faster recovery. The most rewarding aspect of my practice is witnessing improvements in my patients' quality of life after surgery. Knowing that I have helped them return to activities they enjoy motivates me to work hard every day with enthusiasm and dedication.

After 20 years of working as a chiropractor, I found my passion as an orthopedic physician assistant. It is so gratifying to simply see my patients get better and knowing that as an orthopedic PA I had a part to play in their recovery...
