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.

Professional, personable, thorough. Answers all questions in an understandable manner. I highly recommend Dr. Ward!!

I have had multiple eye surgeries, some of my earlier surgeries were done by two surgeons of world renowned, one had operated England's Queen Mother. In my judgment Dr. Ward has a world class skill set, I cannot think of a single aspect that could have been improved upon. A very kind soul.

Dr. Ward was very knowledgeable and patient and worked with me and my particular eye situation and interests. His manner is thorough and I felt he fully focused on my interests, concerns and results at all times. Great prep information and thorough and excellent follow up reviews. His staff were great, as was the teamwork of the staff at the Dayton Eye Surgery Center which I used with him. Five stars all around!
