Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

It has been a few years since my serious injuries and surgical intervention with Dr Ward and her staff. I was also evaluated six months ago with a very well respected surgeon out of state. I still have a brace on 24/7, the wrist/hand is barely functional. The out of state surgeon was not impressed with Dr Ward's surgical skills. He told me not only did Dr Ward do surgery incorrectly but she was also "sloppy" and left clips left in the wrist that should have been also removed. Dr Ward...Mistake!

I went to Dr. Ward because of her history and because she was listed has a Dr. who helped people with specific issues. This was the worst mistake of my life. I brought her medical records indication my medical history and she dictated her notes with false information. I would never recommend her to anyone and wished I had never trusted her.

I have cubital tunnel syndrome and have been suffering with it for over a year. No amount of PT I did worked. I eventually ended up in the hands of Dr. Ward, and I am extremely grateful that I did. Dr. Ward suggested that I consider release surgery even though I was nervous and scared about the prospect of surgery at such a young age. She guided me through it and with her expertise, and after two months post-op, I can confidently say she has given me my life back. Thank you, Dr. Ward.

Everything I have needed to improve my ability, both left and right hands, to live a more comfortable life has been improved with her care. She explained things well and the surgeries on my hands and elbows went good. Her staff was professional and attentive. Her behavior a a doctor was very professional and the use of humor great. I say see her for your surgery.
