Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have never felt more uncomfortable with a doctor than I have with this man. As being a young woman going alone to talk to the doctor about my health problems he acted like I was a complete joke. He did not make me feel welcome whatsoever. That fact that I came home crying to my family for how I felt is disgusting. I felt so uncomfortable I will definitely be looking for a different surgeon to discuss my options.

My appointment with Dr. Christopher Ward, 4-17-17. I found the receptionist courteous, pleasant and efficient with the usual new patient paperwork. The waiting room was quiet, well furnished and comfortable. I waited a very short period and was ushered in to meet Dr. Ward. I found him to be very pleasant, efficient in describing my condition in simple and easily understood English and he expressed a most conservative position in relation to my possible surgery. I was very pleased.
