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.

Dr. John Ward is a very good doctor and was very professional. He did my mother's surgery July 2020 and made my mom very comfortable during the process of her surgery. He also made me feel comfortable and was a very nice doctor.

Dr Ward was the on call doctor at Baptist when I was admitted with an internal hemorrhage following a colonoscopy in another state. Aside from being clinically sound and astute, his bedside manner and ability to comfort and reassure patients is beyond compare.
