Dr. Ford was raised in the small community of Bismarck, Arkansas. He spent his summers during high school working at Chapman’s Eye Care in Hot Springs. It was during this time that Dr. Chapman would become a key in influencing Dr. Ford’s future career decisions. Following high school, Dr. Ford continued his education at Henderson State in Arkadelphia where he graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s degree in Biology and Biochemistry. Dr. Ford then attended the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee, where he graduated in 2019.
In his free time, Dr. Ford enjoys the outdoors and country living. This led him back to Arkansas and back to Chapman’s Eye Care, which became the Hot Springs location of Simmons Eye Care after the sudden passing of Dr. Chapman in late 2011. Dr. Ford looks forward to serving the community with integrity, compassion, and professionalism.
