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.

Love Dr. Ward. He always puts me at ease. Hope he never retires.

Dismissive. Wouldn't take my dog to see him.
Not up to date on treatment of male hypogonadism. Unable to answer basic questions. Treats symptoms but from a very basic educational standpoint lacks any true knowledge or skill to get to the root cause. Worse yet, I was reminded that I was wasting his time and he had other patients he had to see or they would leave his office. If you are afflicted with hypogonadism I would definitely not waste my time here.

Outstanding attention to patient inputs. Willing to consider alternative options and discuss +/-'s. Excellent "bedside" manner.

Worst Doctor ever!!! Mr. Ward did three procedures on me and all were terrible. My recovery was much worse than the information I was given. He doesn't care about his patients, he just wants to move on to the next patient and bill them. I had a complication from his third procedure and contacted his office. No response. I ended up in the emergency room for five hours from his procedure. His technic when performing a procedure is vicious and cruel. My recommendation is run,

My husband has been a patient of Dr Ward since 2006. He is an excellent doctor. He is very friendly, very knowledgeable, willing to explain everything in great detail. Will spend the time it takes with the patient to make sure you understand everything and the treatment plan. Couldn't ask for a better physician anywhere. Wish all physicians were like Dr Ward. We love him and appreciate all he has done to help my husband who was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2006. The best around.
