Patient Reviews
Jul 24, 2025
New to Richmond area. Needed to get professional assessment of functioning of my VP shunt. Dr. Ward treated me like a long term patient at my first visit with him. He told me it appears that my shunt is working properly but ordered a Head CT and revisit just to be sure. Very pleased I was able to schedule a visit with Dr. Ward.
