Dr. Ward has treated me for a number of years. I had testicular cancer a number of years ago and now I have a little girl. Now he is treating me for the fun of getting old and being a guy with just one testicle.Dr. Ward knows his job and I would send my family to him without question.
I've been to him 4 times now regarding a kidney stone. This time was 1 year after the stone for a follow up. Every time it was over an hour past my appt. time, before I saw him for the ~20 seconds that he talks to you. This time, he didn't even know how many stones I've had, he thought it was multiple times. Then he didn't even know how long ago it was, all while sitting there staring at his laptop while "talking" to me. The previous time, I waited over an hour and a half, just for him to give me a poorly photocopied list of "what not to eat, to avoid kidney stones" that anyone could google to get, yet I paid an office visit for it, and waisted time off my job for the visit. On the initial visit I had multiple questions that I forced him to answer, all while he kept backing out the door, after each question.... Do yourself a favor and find another doctor.
Our experience with this doctor was of very poor quality. During both of our visits, he took over an hour after our appointment time to get to us. When he finally did bless us with his presence (I will explain this later), he rushed through our concerns, failed to demonstrate care for the patient and provided absolutely no assistance in helping us get to the root of the problem. At one point, when inquiring more about the diagnosis, Ward says: "well most doctors wouldn't talk to you as much as I have about the problem". As if we're suppose to be thankful for him doing his several-thousand-dollar-a-year job. He irresponsibly prescribes antibiotics despite admitting that he was not certain he made the appropriate diagnosis. After our second appointment, my husband began to experience severe pain due to one [of the many] medicines he prescribed. I called to inquire if anything else could be prescribed. After several hours of waiting for a response, we received a call back saying that Ward suggested that he stop all medicines (reminder- he is on an antibiotic, to stop an antibiotic before it's full run seems to be risky because the infection could become stronger) and try to see someone else.Despite us having a follow up appointment and waiting on lab tests, he just cuts us off and tries to pawn us off on another doctor. Very irresponsible and disgusting way to behave as a doctor. I strongly encourage you to spend your time and money elsewhere.
Dr. Ward is a very caring and good doctor. He takes the time to listen to his patients and wants to understand the problem from your point of view. He is an excellent dianostician and is up to date on new proceedures.
