How likely are you to recommend Dr. Ward?
Since our first child was born 18 years ago, we have interacted with many wonderful pediatricians in NYC but no one compares to Dr. Ward. Time with her is like working with a small town doctor who knows lots about you and is available, devotes real time to you, and follows up with care and attention. At the same time, she is very up-to-date on latest research and methods. Most importantly, my kids love and trust her. They feel they can comfortably go to her with anything they might wish to discuss, and that means the world to me.
