Dr. Daniel Michael Ward, MD

Wonderful and no non-sense approach to my problem after I had seen a few other docs for my hip problem. I replaced my hip and went home the same day. really perfect experience.

Dr. Ward is an amazing surgeon! His technique for a total hip replacement is the best! It was painless & easy Peasy, just like he said it would be. Opioids only twice, then Tylenol. He kicked me to the curb on day two-LOL! He is the consummate professional In every way. He respected my Religious beliefs, reassured me-it was my first surgery-I was afraid. It was a pleasant experience- he has a great sense of humor, spends time with you, he cares about his patients as individuals. He is very confident in his abilities, very relaxed-putting you at ease. He is very conscious of infection control making for a an excellent recovery. He is my top doc!

I have now had both hips and both knees replaced by Ward over the last 4y, and am satisfied with the outcomes and very pleased with his work, explanations, and manner. I can't wait to get back to geezerball. I can't say it's a piece of cake --- lifelong tight joints, lots of OA from an early age, some sports trauma, waited perhaps a little too long, all resulting in somewhat poky rehabs and some lingering stiffness. But I have good-enough RoM and good strength and am activity-unrestricted in my 70s, woohoo. See this doc, I say.

I had a very quick recovery after my hip replacement. I asked for a special hip approach that he uses. I couldn’t be happier.

Dr. Ward has performed both right and left total hip replacements for me using his own minimally invasive approach and I have found him to be a great surgeon and physician! He is very down to earth, easy going, personal, and an excellent surgeon! He is very highly regarded by his colleagues and all the hospital nurses and physical therapists. His Physician Assistant, Danielle, is also as wonderful as he is...very knowledgeable, highly skilled, efficient, positive, and genuinely personal! They make a great team! They are the best!

Had my total hip replacement and two weeks in I am making tremendous progress in my recovery. The Surgery was performed at North Atlantic Surgical Center in N.H.. the staff there was attentive and made the experience stress free. They make sure you are well informed throughout the process. Surgery was at 7:00am and I was home by 11:00am restring comfortably and ready to start rehabbing. I highly recommend Dr. Daniel Ward.

I had a total hip replacement and went home the same day. Super smooth recovery. I could not be happier with my result

Dr Ward was recommended by my neurosurgeon at New England Baptist. I had done thorough research on the various hip replacement procedures and Dr Ward uses the newest technique invented by a colleague at NEB. He also had the lowest complication rate. His Direct Superior approach is "superior". The classic rear approach is easier for the doctor but involves a lot of cutting in areas that cause long recovery. The somewhat recent Anterior approach has less cutting but involves dislocating the femur. The scar is thin and fading and this may be an issue, especially for women, who worry about such things. There was a recent knee replacement patient in the waiting room not long post-op and his scar was much less than I have seen on others who look like the doctor stitched in a rope when they closed (high and wide scar). He has a good bedside manner and is down to earth. I made the observation, from watching several surgeries on YouTube, that after the initial incision the rest was mostly… carpentry. He agreed and also joked that he like working on cars which helped his technique. The recovery was very fast. I used a walker for a couple of days, skipped the crutches and was able to walk without a cane after a week. I carried it around to keep my wife happy but didn't need it. I was back to the gym in 2 months doing my typical quite aggressive workouts with just dialing back a few exercises that directly involved the hip. He also prescribes adequate pain medication to cover the first 10 days or so, where with my most recent back surgery the pain meds were very inadequate. I would have been very uncomfortable if I hadn't saved some from prior surgeries. I highly recommend Dr Ward.

I was reading the reviews after my recent hip replacement and the vast majority are wonderful and I can only ad to that. I was out of them hospital in 24 hours and back to work. He was a honest and straightforward doctor during all my visits. his PA is wonderful.

Dr. Ward has done a hip and a knee replacement for me. Both surgies were easy with great results. Sometimes I need to remind myself that I have replacements. Not only a superb orthopedic surgeon, but pocesses a warm engaging, nature. His professionalism is perfect, only outdone by his sincerity, his listening skills and subtle sense of humor. He has taken great care of me, especially with serious hip problems. I think Dr.Ward is a top notch surgeon and a wonderful man, despite that he chose Notre Dame over B.C.
