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.

We will be very sad when Dr. Ward retires. He has been with our daughter for 20 years.

I was looking up Dr Ward to see if he is still at OU. My daughter was 2 days old when she became his patient, 11/14/85. She was critical. Dr. Ward and the late Dr. Elkins collaborated and Sarah went into open heart surgery on 11/16/85. It was a frightening experience, but Sarah was given another chance at life. I saw first-hand the devotion and dedication that compelled Dr. Ward. We went through a few more surgeries and Sarah is a beautiful 32 (almost 33) yrs old. Forever your fan, good Doctor

Dr. Ward is by far the most wonderful physician my family and I have ever known. The wise, loving, and thoughtful care he gave to my younger sister throughout her life extended that life almost 50 years beyond her life expectancy at birth. His bedside manner is superb, and he went well above and beyond in helping my sister and my family during the final days of her life. We will remain grateful to him forever.
