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.

Dr. Ward ENT Dr.
Dr. Ward treated my son with a chronic ear infection when he was a baby. In 1983 he had a surgery at Kaiser Permanente in San Francisco. Dr Ward took good care of him up until he was 8 years old . My son is 40 now and he will never forget how Dr. Ward changed his life. We as a family highly recommended Dr. Ward for his professionalism and dedication. Dr. Ward is the best ENT Dr.

Dr. Ward is extremely thorough and results oriented. My first visit was for a nasty ear infection. After explaining his examination, he prescribed ear drops that cleared the infection in 4 days. Recently, I saw him twice for what I thought was laryngitis, however it turned out to be a vocal cord dysfunction. He referred me to a specialist who is one of the best in the business for this condition. Dr. Ward has a great chair-side manner, is kind, gentle and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
