Dr. Robert Ward, MD

GREAT physician, nurses and staff!!

Dr. Ward was very knowledgeable, professional and kind. His staff were pleasant and helpful. Looking forward to a continued relationship.

I had muscle weakness as a result of methane gas exposure. In spite of the fact that weakness with my hands was improving, my pc doctor placed an order for an unnecessary test called Nuclear Stress test. I put trust in him unconditionally and took the test. Today has been the 14th day since I got the test. I am still suffering from the side effects of the test. My blood pressure have increased dramatically and I have started having a severe pain with my stomach and abdominal muscles. I have discomfort and uneasiness with my chest, upper left chest and platysma muscle. After the test I began to have mild bronchial wall thickening. The problem is that dr. Ward did not tell me a single word about the side effects of the test. He was not even present before the test. I have never seen such a disorderly doctor office before. It was his responsibility to explain the side effects of the test. No one else at the office also told me a single word about this terrible test. The nurse came in and injected the drug into my arms. She did not even measure my BP. I still do not know how the team would interfere with the test if they saw a dramatic increase of my BP results!!! Dr. Ward treated me as if i were stupid when he said that the team did not need to measure the BP as they depended on my previous BP results, which are measured one month ago. He is a liar. Even though the document sent by his nurse explains the possible severe side effects of the drug (technetium 99m), he could still claim that the drug does not have any side effect. Why, then, am I still suffering from many complications? What is dramatic is I had no need to take this test as my muscle weakness was already improving. I do not understand why my PC doctor ordered this dangerous test and why dr. Ward did not tell me a single word about the side effects of the test. They have ruined my life. He is the worst doctor ever..
