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.

Obviously knowledgeable in the field, yet not on how to speak to people. Condescending and seems like she doesn’t want to be there!!!

Not a people-person. She was not very understanding to my needs during my visit. I had to get a prescription changed later and she gave me a prescription that caused me to have an unnecessary extended period for 2 weeks until I was able to get it fixed.

What an incompetent provider who solely gaslit me. Do not see this provider if you are a female who actually cares about her health and doesn't just want a doctor to throw the birth control pill at you to "solve all your problems." There are so many amazing women's health providers out there - I urge you to see someone else who won't gaslight you, WILL listen to your problems, and will do diagnostic testing.

If I could leave zero stars I would. I have never in my life been as disrespected as I was with this doctor. I went to her at 18 terrified and confused because I had been on my period for YEARS straight without a break and asked to be put on birth control to control it. She belittled me, told me that I needed to "lay off the Mcdonalds" (her words exactly), lose some weight, and treated me like a sl*t for asking for birth control (when I had told her I hadn't even had my first kiss yet, let alone had sex). She didn't listen to a single thing I said the whole time and did no testing even when I begged. She finally, reluctantly, prescribed me birth control that made me so sick I couldn't get out of bed for TWO MONTHS until I got an appointment with someone else who diagnosed me within 5 minutes with a severe ovarian problem and that doctor told me that the medicine Deborah Ward put me on was the worst possible thing for someone with the symptoms I was presenting.

I don’t think anyone looks forward to their yearly women’s exam, but Dr Ward always makes it quick and painless. Before you know it it’s over and done with for another year! Would highly recommend her.

I love Deborah Ward! I live 1.5 hours away from her office, but still travel to Greenville to see her! Several years ago, after an abnormal mammogram, Deborah actually called me at home (long after regular office-hours) to make sure I was OK. Two years ago, my mother accompanied me for a follow-up with Deborah after I learned that I likely had more negative side-effects from my cancer treatments. As we were leaving the office, my mother commented, "Now I know why you won't leave her." I have seen dozens of doctors through the years and have even "fired" a few, but Deborah Ward will continue to stay on my "regular list" as long as she will continue to have me as a patient!

She gave me a thorough examination, did not rush, explained everything, correctly diagnosed my problem, and prescribed the needed medication. Very much appreciated her kind attitude!

This was the worst OB/GYN appointment I have ever had. I saw Deb as a new patient and I felt rushed and very uncomfortable. She was quite rude and condescending in her remarks and didn't take the time to explain anything to me even after expressing how nervous I was and she didn't care at all. She didn't take the time to ask me about my concerns and it was very apparent that this was just a job to her. The whole visit was awkward, thus I will neither be returning, nor will I be recommending this provider. I expressed to Greenville OB/GYN that my visit was sub-par and they didn't seem to care either.

I'm really surprised at some of these reviews. I called as a new patient to make an appointment and was able to get in within less than a week. I waited less than 10 minutes and the staff was very friendly. I saw Ms. Ward who took the time to listen to me and even chatted a little small talk with me. It was a fairly quick visit but I didn't feel rushed. I was in and out in less than an hour for a complete exam; I also had lab work drawn. I'm super pleased with her as well as the entire staff.

Very rude, no bed side manners. Made smart comments the entire time. I love the doctors at this practice. But this one not so much. Now I see why she has an opening at the last minute.

She is extremely rude!!! She makes unnecessary rude comments the whole appointment. She also rushed through the entire appointment- it was a pretty painful pap smear. I have had friends with the same exact experience with her. I will definitely be requesting a different physician next time. Would not recommend!!!

Judgemental and condescending. Explains things well but assumes you don’t know anything about the subject at all. I left feeling like I was being rushed out of the office. Didn’t ask about any of my concerns and didn’t make me feel comfortable bringing any up. Not a good first gyno experience at all.
