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.

Bad Experience
Dr. Couldn’t find anything including his pen. Didn’t help at all and refused to do a nerve block that my Dr recommended for shingles. Falsified medical records. He was very rude. Would not recommend

Dr. Ward was very comforting and extremely knowledgeable about the root of my back pain. He knew exactly what to do and I finally got relief. I hope to never need to see him again, but if my back pain returns, I definitely want to be treated by Dr. Ward.

Dr Ward has been the anesthesiologist for several of my surgeries, 2 of which required local anesthetic prior to the procedures, while I was awake. Dr Ward has a great bedside manner and way of proceeding with this local numbing so patient has as little discomfort as possible. In addition he sees patients for pain control, at which he also excels. He takes the time to listen to the nature of the pain and really considers best options for relief.
