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 a wonderful experience with Dr. Ward ,he did my second spinal fusion, my first surgery with Dr.Ghavam was a disaster, a total nightmare, the hardware came lose 5 months after the surgery, I was in so much pain I didn’t know what to do. I was shopping at Walmart & I sow a nice lady that highly recommended Dr. Ward. He was very kind and explained everything to me step ,by step, he is an excellent Dr. he removed the hardware and did my spinal fusion. I highly recommend him , he is a Christian that prays before surgery. after surgery I got very sick ?? I had the worst migraine ever , am a migraine suffered. the nurse ????? Call him and he was at home resting ?? and he came to the hospital to make sure I was ok at 11:30 . He has excellent bed side manners. I will be for ever great full to him . He is a wonderful ????? . He is a great person, and I strongly recommend him to any body that needs Back surgery. May God Bless him ????????

I am two days Post Op. Dr. Ward is absolutely top notch, in my opinion, and there is not a good reason to go anywhere else when a surgeon of his caliber is right here in our back yard, almost. My experience has been wonderful, and I strongly recommend him to anyone who needs back surgery! Eric Summerford, Hartselle, Alabama

Dr. Ward is an excellent surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. We liked that he took time to explain and even draw on paper what he was going to do during the operations. He has saved my son's hand from a terrible firework accident and repaired my husband's leg from a chain saw accident. We love him and would recommend him to anyone! We feel blessed to have had him in both of these emergency situations!!!! He's the best as far as we are concerned!

Dr. Ward's Nurse Practitioner was very helpful and informative and helpful, however the office manager is very rude and narcissistic...I strongly suggest if you need a referral you have it made elsewhere.
