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 doctor
This person did more harm than good to me. He overestimates his abilities and claims expertise he does not have. He made me feel worse about myself than any other doctor I’ve seen. He did not help my pain matters at all and was not honest. Don’t go to this doctor.

I don't trust those positive reviews!
The doctor made feel as if I was addicted to the medication despite not having anything to support it. I don't see how some of the reviews were positive and others were not. Maybe he help those patients he wants to help based on his judgement of them.

Dr. Ward is an amazingly caring practitioner. I’ve been his patient since 2016 and I couldn’t be happier with him. He understands pain and treats it appropriately.

I have referred people. Dr Ward is wonderful he has a vast knowledge of procedure and besides pain medicine he offers alternative medicine like CBD. I couldn't even hardly walk when I first started seeing him. Not only am I doing better he helps to manade my pain and went far beyond that taking real time to explain CBD that has helped with seizures and anxiety. He is very busy but one of the most compassionate Dr's out there.

Dr. Ward will provide a variety of simple adjustments and options for pain management that are not standard, but are functional. He cares for his patients with chronic pain, and has provided me with ways to become even just slightly more functional. He spends the right amount of time with his patients and gives them the dignity of allowing them as much time as they need to come to a resolution for the day’s appointment instead of being coaxed out after 15minutes.

There is so much I can say about this doctor and his practice. Originally, when I first started seeing this doctor, I was satisfied. As time went on I became more and more frustrated with the way his office conducts business and how I was treated by Dr. Ward. When calling his office, you have to call several times throughout the day to get a live person, when visiting his office for an appointment, plan to be there at least 4-6 hours.

Dr. Ward and staff, are very cordial as well as professional. On my first visit Dr. Ward took my medical information and ran numerous tests. On the follow up visit Dr. Ward explain a program of treatment regarding my pain issue that works best for me. It's been almost a year and I'm very satisfied with progress of my condition.

I have seen Dr Ward many times over the years. He has successfully treated me for disk degeneration, worn cartilage in my knees and broken vertebrae. I would highly recommend his services. He is warm and congenial and speaks with his patients as people. He takes his time with patients and treats them individually with passion and concern. I have never felt I was on an assembly line like at other Dr's offices. I highly recommend Dr. Franscisco Ward.
