Always Quick to Help
Dr. Ward gently helped our autistic son through the whole braces process and was always quick to help when we needed it. We can’t recommend him enough.

Made Us Feel at Home
We went for a consult today for my teenage son. Dr. Ward was friendly, took the time to explain the plan, and answered all our questions. No pressure at all, and the staff made us feel at home the minute we walked in.
