This was my second time seeing Claire and I am so glad to have found her. I had a variety of doctors/OBs before who made me feel more like a number to process; Claire makes me feel like a person and always makes me feel comfortable to share my problems with. I trust her evaluations for ongoing care because I feel like we can have an open discussion and utilize her expertise to make decisions.

Claire is amazing! I love the fact that she listened, took notes, reviewed noted from prior visits so she remembered me and my situation, family, etc, when she walked in the room. Maybe she remembered without reviewing, but that seems impossible with how many patients she sees. I really appreciated how knowledgeable/ she knew a year later not everyone is like that

Claire Ward is a breath of fresh air. She kindly listened to concerns and offered options. She didn't rush through the visit and made sure to communicate all steps of the exam. She has a warm, empathetic, and calming energy that makes a patient feel seen. I appreciate her and the care she took during my visit. Thank you.

She truly cares and her reviews show. Not many providers are like this and I've had bad experiences in the past (not at TFH) but Claire truly listened and provided solutions.
