About William H Ward

About the Provider

In my practice, I focus a lot on preventive medicine. If I can help you stop a problem before it starts, I will.

Many diseases and chronic conditions can be prevented, delayed or improved by adopting healthy lifestyle habits like healthy eating, exercise, reducing stress and quitting smoking. I take great joy in helping patients learn how to take charge of their health and improve their quality of life.

I enjoy working with patients of all ages, from children to older adults.

    As I stated before, Dr Ward had some big shoes to fill when he came here, and he has done so by being very professional, shows a little smile and personality now and then, is very gentle. I believe the only thing that would be a negative is the time constraint on the appointment if other issues arrive and there is no time for discussion. And that basically I believe is not his fault. Sometimes an older female, such as myself may have several things that need attention so I might not fit into a 20 minute appointment.
