Patient Reviews
Dec 18, 2024
Dr Ward and his team clearly explain procedures, listen to patients concerns, and are by your side through the surgery and recovery. They follow through and support your success. Pre and post surgery is a well constructed process that leads you through the steps to recovery, strengthening and a healthy, active new walking life. I can't imagine a better practice, from Sonya & Mario in the office to Jay in the hospital, backing up and supporting Dr Ward's gentle, skilled surgery.
