My problem has been long standing (over a year), trying to define and treat the problems have been challenging. Dr Ward recently has been included and has offered new insight.
June 2022
Again, I could not speak more highly of Dr. Ward in absolutely every respect. It is amazing to me how a doctor with the highest possible expertise and experience and who I know is extremely busy and deals with very difficult medical issues can be so good at being friendly and welcoming, acting like he has all the time in the world, listening so well and respectfully, establishing personal rapport, showing concern, giving good explanations in understandable terms, offering solutions, and even asking about my husband by name. He's the best of the best.
