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.

Thank you Dr.Ward . It was a gnarly surgery but it took care of my nerve pain. I’m now on a fast track to recovery!

Dr. Ward removed a brain tumor from my wife on July 12th 2010 at Plaza Medical Center in Fort Worth. He saved her life. He did an outstanding job, and she returned to her normal way of life with no side effects or issues.

Worst ever. After the staff called me 3 times to make sure I was bringing in Both MRI discs, the doctor didn't even bother looking or addressing the second issue I made the appointment for. Seemed too "preppy" and much too smug for my liking. Luckily I found another doctor for a second opinion that actually took the time to listen to everything I had to say and addressed every issue I had made the appointment for. If I could leave zero stars I would!

Dr. Ward is very personable while being a straight shooter. He was very easy to talk to and did a wonderful job on my neck! Surgery went very smoothly with immediate improvement! This procedure had me nervous and he and his staff did an outstanding job with me, helped me feel very comfortable and I have had very minimal pain, even immediately after surgery! Thanks to Dr. Ward and his staff! World class in my book!

I had been to Dr. Ward several times as he is awesome. For herniated disk in lower back and surgery to replace the disk in my neck. I have not had any issue with those but now I have a bulging disk in my lower left back. He is treating me now. He is the best.

Dr. Ward has ably and professionally treated me for spinal stenosis for approximately 15 years requiring multiple surgeries at both the cervical and lumbar levels. All surgeries were successful. My recent visit required a myelogram for which scheduling was promptly made by his staff. I have always been able to depend on Dr. Ward to keep me comfortable and functioning to carry on my profession.

I have had two office visits and found the staff to be very pleasant and accommodating. Office runs on time with a very short wait time before my visit with Dr. Ward. He has always been very friendly and took the time necessary to answer all of our questions regarding the procedure I will be having. His office staff is very helpful, very friendly and have really made things go very smoothly. Definitely would recommend.

My visit was for my initial visit concerning back and leg issues I was having. Dr. Ward was very friendly and what I liked the most, he was confident that he could fix my problems. He answered all of my questions and even came back in when I thought of more questions. He took the time so that I understood what was going on with my back and how he was going to fix it. Also, his Nurse Practitioner and all of the office staff have been exceptional.

I saw Dr Ward for a surgical consultation. My husband and I were very impressed with his friendly and professional bedside manner. He took plenty of time to answer our many questions. He was open and honest regarding the difficulties associated with my procedure. He offered me healthy alternatives to consider before commiting to surgery. I found him honest, refreshing and kind. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
