She was a fill in for my doctor of ten years on teleconference. I will no longer be going to this practice. She was an hour late for our teleconference, rude when we spoke, sarcastic, condescending and smug. I’m proud of her for becoming a doctor, is their a empathy training or EQ for physicians that she can take? I’ve never in my life written a review, but after not caring and physically showing it to laugh when I started to talk, people need to know how terrible she is with people. I’m seriously disgusted at her and the situation.

Dr. Joyce Ward is the absolute worst physician that I have ever been too. She only listened to what she wanted to and not me the patient that is suffering daily with my problem. I want else where and a wonderful physician that listens to you and has helped me so much. Dr. Word should learn how to treat people.

Had an appointment with her last week. She was sarcastic and bordered on rudeness. Will not be back

This is the worst Dr ive ever been to ive been to. Their is no such thing as Dr patient confidentiality when it comes to her the things I told her thinking it was between us she wrote every word of it and alot of her own down in my records please be careful what you say to her especially if you dont want your gynecologist, dentist ,or any other dr to know it .when i confronted her with this she played stupid which shes does very well and said she couldn't remove it .im in the process of looking for an attorney she should not have a license.

Dr ward is a poor excuse for a doctor, she does not ever see you on time and then she rushes you with I have other patients excuse, I would not recommend her to act as anybody's doctor, too bad I could not give her a -rating, any potential patients should wonder why she has been practicing for so long and has plenty of openings and accepts new patients (because she is awful and should have her license revoked)
