Dr Ward, PA and staff have been wonderful! I do not live nearby but the drive is so worth it!
No complaints.
As a first consultation with Dr Ward I was very impressed with the detailed information he discussed re my hip surgery. He took time to answer my questions and to discuss my recovery.
Great service, good explanation of issues. Felt very comfortable with the process. Office staff was very nice.
Dr Ward was very thorough in explaining surgery to remove titanium rod from my hip and doing hip replacement. He is very honest with his evaluation explaining all the positive & negative results and how much better my hip pain would improve. I was very pleased with my consultation.
Very happy with all aspects of the care by Dr. Ward and the whole staff and office. Highly recommended!
The entire staff at dr. Ward's office are very kind and very professional.
