“10 year care”

We are going on our 10th year with Dr Ward. We have moved out of state and continue to have her as our primary pediatrician. The staff and Dr Ward are easily accessible for any questions and have always shown flexibility with appointments. Dr Ward also gives it to you clear and respects your parenting style which is a plus! 10/10 for me.

“Best doctor we have ever been to.”

We've had the pleasure of having Dr. Ward care for our two children since birth, and we couldn't be happier. From our very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of every child. Dr. Ward is patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. She always takes the time to listen to our concerns, explain things thoroughly, and make both parents and kids feel completely at ease.

“best pediatrician ever!”

Dr. Ward has been an unbelievable pediatrician for my girls, since day 1! We are so lucky to have found her. She has walked us through many situations over the years. She truly cares - takes time with each patient and is 100% present, taking in consideration the whole child when giving advice and planning treatments. All doctors should be like Dr. Ward.

“Dr. Ward is exceptional”

"We are so grateful to Dr. Ward for her partnership in caring for our children from their first week! She is the most attentive, patient, caring, and thorough pediatrician I could have imagined. I always feel respected by her and deeply respect her in turn. Her staff is also lovely, and we've always been able to keep things simple with scheduling and billing--a rarity!"

“One-of-a-kind Pediatrician”

Dr. Ward has been our children's pediatrician since birth (they’re now 8.5 & 7 years old), and she has been absolutely exceptional. She is not only a skilled doctor, but also a wonderful educator, thoroughly explaining both their physical and mental needs, as well as their developmental milestones.
Dr. Ward’s thoroughness during examinations is unparalleled. She never rushes through appointments and always gives her full attention to our children, patiently answering every question—a rarity in today’s fast-paced healthcare environment. The advice she has provided us has shaped our children in meaningful ways.
In moments of doubt or crisis, we reach out to Dr. Ward, even after seeing specialists. In addition, no one does blood tests as smoothly as Dr. Ward! My children would only let her perform them, and she makes them look effortless.
A testament to how amazing Dr. Ward is: we continued to seek her care even after moving to NJ. We are truly grateful for her care.

“Best pediatrician in the Upper West Side.”

Both of my children are patients of Dr. Ward since birth. Her knowledge and her bedside manner are superior. She is well respected by many, and I could not imagine a better dr for my children. She is honest and sticks to the facts. Dr. Ward cares about her patients and runs her practice well.
