Dr. Ward has been my GI Dr. for many yrs. Unfortunately i’ve need Colonoscopies every few yrs! Dr. Ward always reminds me why I CANT SKIP THESE (even tho’ I try)! He is the most professional, caring, attentive Dr. as is his staff??. I need another Colonoscopy and his schedule was filled. He tried to have me see 1 of his partners; i said NO WAY, I WONT SEE ANOTHER GI DR. He found an opening for me?? I have the greatest respect for Dr. Ward. He never rushes me, & always answers all my questions??. He’s truly caring as is his nurse Karen, and all his staff??
