She was amazing! I saw her about 2 months ago and it was very helpful. I’m still struggling with my pet allergies but she made me feel confident that I’m the future with different treatment options that they’ll be very manageable.

Dr. Ward was wonderful. She was extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly explained every detail of my visit, why she recommended the course of treatment, and clearly let me see what changes were within my control going forward. She and the staff were warm and inviting. I will be coming back and making an appointment for my daughter to see her as well.

February 13, 2020Trena M.Verified patient
Dr. Ward was terrific. Her front office was not. My appointment was for an certain time but the front office somehow revised my appointment for 40 minutes later. When I asked about this the front office assured me I would be see at my original appointed time. My original appointment time came and went - I finally was called at the later time (i.e., 40 minutes after my originally scheduled time). When Dr. Ward finally saw me she said she had been looking for me for a while and that I had been “lost” - she had been ready for me at the original appointment time but no one had come to get me to see her. So she and I both wasted 40 minutes waiting for each other.

The absolute best allergist possibly in the world. I've never felt so comfortable around someone in my entire life. She is incredible!
More than 1 year agoChristopher E.Verified patient
The staff was friendly and courteous. Office was modern. Dr. Ward was personable and professional. She listened carefully, did not rush and provided education on my options.
September 3, 2019Michelle R.Verified patient
Fantastic doctor and nurse but very unprofessional and unfriendly receptionist. My appointment was rescheduled as I was on my way to the clinic. They rescheduled it under short notice (15 minutes before my original appointment time). My appointment was confirmed early in the morning, but the staff were not mindful of my commute time and work schedule.

I’ve seen many allergists over the years and Dr Ward is by far my favorite, quick wait time, and super friendly staff. Highly recommended!
May 23, 2019Rebeka C.Verified patient
It's hard to determine if a physician "knows what they're doing" so-to-speak so I tend to look at their training and Dr. Ward ticks those boxes and part of her training at Harvard. To me, a doctor's personality and bedside manner are very important and Dr. Ward is excellent and just a very nice person and I could tell she was concerned and very empathetic. She was running a bit late, but was very apologetic and respectful of my time. I was really impressed!
April 5, 2019Steven H.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable, professional and efficient.
More than 1 year agoTamar L.Verified patient
She was great. To the point, quick, and left with a clear plan to attack my allergies in the future. Don’t push future visits or expensive tests.
More than 1 year agoSarah R.Verified patient
Waited a little while after I went back to the exam room to see the doctor, but otherwise everything was pretty quick. Dr. Ward's beside manner was very good. She was knowledgeable and I never felt rushed. I had actually scribbled some notes down that I hadn't brought up in conversation and when she came over to examine me, so actually asked about, which shows an attention to detail I certainly haven't seen with most doctors.

This practice was recommended by another doctor's office. Dr. Ward is fantastic! Very smart, thorough, personable, an excellent experience from start to finish. I'm glad I found this practice, and this doctor. Highly recommended.

Great listener. Very knowledgeable.
August 20, 2018Angela A.Verified patient
I absolutely loved my service with Dr. Ward and her entire staff. I had an insurance issue and was frantically trying to get it squared away, but her staff calmed me down and told me it would be taken care of and not to worry. Dr. Ward's bedside manner was excellent as she's welcoming, knowledgeable, and extremely funny. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice.
May 23, 2018Dominique C.Verified patient
Dr. Ward was very professional and personable. She listened to my concerns and she explained the pros and cons of each treatment option. She gave me suggestions of things to do immediately to help my allergies.

Dr Ward, her techs, and all staff were the MOST friendly specialist office I've encountered in DC, and with a rare genetic condition, I see many doctors. Everyone is solidly professional, knowledgeable, and listens well. I couldn't be happier!
