There isn't enough good that I can say. My little hairless girl got lymphoma 3.5 yrs ago. With a very poor prognosis, we didn't know if we'd have her 3 months. Dr ward is extremely knowledgeable and very competent in a difficult field. While she's not all warm and fuzzy, I have never known a vet to care more about an animal than her. She treats aggressively but carefully considers the effect on the patient. She doesn't give up on your pet but doesn't blow smoke either. We didn't know how we would afford the treatment but she does everything possible to not soak the owner with useless tests and her fees have been less than a non-specialized vet. I drive an hour now to take my girl to her but I honestly would drive 12 hrs just to have her skill and compassion to treat my pet! We love her the most!

I don't have the words to express how much I appreciate Dr. Ward and her staff! It truly is like nowhere else. The caring and depth of knowledge combined with their desire to solve mystery ailments is unmatched, in my experience. We are sooooo blessed to have them here! Your pets will never be in better hands. It's a minimum 40-minute drive for me, but worth it! 😌 I love my primary vet, but Dr. Ward is definitely my go-to specialist! Years ago, she diagnosed my 18 month old Pittie's pancreatic issue when everyone else was stumped. Dr. Ward and staff truly are local treasures!

They saved my cat! He grew a tumor overnight, and suddenly became very lethargic. I was given an appointment so quickly. When the first chemo meds didn't take, they had another option and it worked! All the while, they carefully monitored my buddy's kidneys (he is older) and made sure his thyroid was doing okay when he lost weight. Everyone at this office is so kind, and they love my little old man cat. They're extremely thorough, and willing to work with my work schedule for late appointments. I'm so glad I was referred to them, they saved his life and I'm so grateful.

My baby was diagnosed with stage IV Lymphoma. Dr. Ward and her team are amazing! With their care & and treatment, you can no longer feel any of her lymph nodes. She is running around playing with her brothers, and she is back to her sassy self. They have given me more time with my girl, and that is priceless.

UPDATE 8/31/2023- Updating my review. If I could give Dr. Ward 10 stars I would. I’ve now has 3 dealings with her (2 cancer scares with Chunk seen below and an ultrasound for my other boy, Chewy). She is still just as wonderful and EXTREMELY thorough. No amount of words can be said for how grateful I am for this amazing practice. Dr Ward knows her stuff and genuinely cares. Her staff are professional and kind. As scary as cancer is, this place makes it easier to process and genuinely wants to help you do the best for your babies. Thank you x a million. You are so appreciated!!! 2021- My boy Chunk went here for 4 chemo treatments following his thyroidectomy. Dr Ward was very honest with me on what to expect and did not sugar coat anything which I appreciate. Her staff was wonderful and the whole office made something that was extremely stressful to me very easy to deal with. Again please note Dr Ward does not sugar coat and may come off blunt, but she is top notch and will not give you false hope. She will be honest with you on treatment, what to expect and the outcome. Chunk and I scream thank you to her and her wonderful staff
