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.

I had an appointment scheduled ahead of time with Dr. Ward and was called into the waiting room and waited 45 minutes… after waiting so long, I decided to walk up front due to a meeting I had scheduled and to my surprise, Dr. Ward was eating and hanging out. Extremely unprofessional and rude as he did not apologize. Do not recommend!

Dr. Ward was AWESOME! I learned so much in one visit. He’s patient. He listens. And you don’t feel rushed. The whole experience was great. The staff are really friendly and they make you feel welcome. I felt very comfortable talking to Dr. Ward, even about uncomfortable things. You can tell from his bedside manner that he really cares about his patients and works to help them feel happy and healthy. I can not recommend him enough!

This was the best team of medical staff I have been around in a long time. I was truly impressed by the care I was given and the friendliness and attitudes of the staff were amazing. Dr. Ward was able to diagnose my problem on the first visit after years of trial and error. I have highly recommended him to family and friends.

Truly the most knowledgeable physician I have ever encountered. There is no one else I would trust my health care with on any level. He even diagnosed a friend based on conversation that 2 other doctors overlooked which resulted in saving her life. Thank you Dr. Ward for being someone I can truly trust to provide exceptional care.

By far, one of the most articulate and informed doctors of physiatrist. Great bedside manner and professionalism. The staff is welcoming, considerate, and attentive to all of his patients. I'm fortunate to have a doctor who exhibits the knowledge beyond his expertise.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Ward to family and friends. I've known him for over 18 yrs. and he's always been one of the most dependable physicians and reliable people I know. He's always been very caring and supportive, and he's also a pretty "Darn Good" doctor too!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Ward to family and friends. Not only is he professional, he has a great bed side manner as well (which is rare these days). He actually takes the time to discuss your diagnosis so you understand and know what to expect. He ever went over my options as far as treatment plans goes.
