Patient Reviews
Jun 11, 2022
I’ve been his patient for 2 detached retina surgeries and I can honestly tell you that I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Ward. He is very thorough, compassionate and ensures your concerns are addressed. He is very quick to respond to inquiries after hours. Look no further, Dr. Ward should be your eye surgeon!!!
