I have worked in health care for 30+ years so I know what was, what is, and what should be.. Dr Jessica Ward is the real deal. Dr Ward relates, listens, totally does everything she can to help you work through any issues, concerns you may have. She will offer the latest medical suggestions/preventions but never at any point make you feel like you're making the wrong decision if you choose not to follow through with standard/new recommendations. Her entire team works smoothly, like a well oiled machine/family. I pray their practice stays independent and continues to be there for all their patients.

Got squeezed in to a last minute appointment that was much appreciated. Dr. Ward was her usual self. Professional, concerned and very empathetic. Answered all my questions and proposed some questions for me to think about. The staff that did the wound care was very good and it looked like they really enjoy their work. If you're looking for professional work in a caring, relaxed environment, this is the place to come!
