Insurances accepted
Baylor Scott & White has established agreements with several types of insurance to ensure your health needs are covered.
Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice. Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice

| 5.0 | Nov 12, 2024 | Dr. Ward is BEYOND WONDERFUL. He is an outstanding surgeon who possesses a great bedside manner. He always has the patient's best interests in mind, and provides invaluable guidance as to care options. He operates only when a certain degree of pain/disability has been reached, suggesting non-invasive treatment options along the way. He has replaced both my shoulders and one knee. In each case, the lead-up, surgery, and followup have been almost unbelievably good. He is also very approachable, and always willing to answer (repeated) questions. | |
