Dr. Ward has been the most helpful, educational, and compassionate doctor I have ever met. She sat down with both myself and my husband. She explained previous images and surgical notes that I have had relating to my problem. She has exceptional qualities that are often lacking in today's medical world.

Dr Ward was wonderful. She explained everything in detail where I could understand it. I was very nervous about this appointment and she put me at ease.
