Dr. Ward made me feel totally prepared for the procedure I am getting and confident that there will be a positive outcome in my improvement. He brilliantly gave me details of how he came up with my diagnosis. All of this gives me peace of mind!!! I'm thankful to be at VCUHealth under the care of Dr. Ward!

At my age of 76, Dr Ward is the finest physician I have ever seen. His knowledge and his care removed any feelings of anxiety that I had felt before meeting Dr Ward. His explanations, the time he graciously gave me, and his expertise on the subject of my visit were exceptional. I feel so very fortunate to have him for my doctor leading me through the process ahead.

Dr. John Ward is a lovely gentleman. I'm glad that I had the pleasure and honor of meeting him. My visit was for a consultation with regard to a lower back injury. He was very friendly and explained my injury in words that I could understand. He took his time in pulling up my MRIs several times to make sure I understood what I was looking at. I liked his "old school" approach because that is a rarity in this day and age. I did not feel rushed to leave the office. I am glad that Dr. Ward is still practicing. We need more doctors like him.
