In patients' words

"Dr. Ward is a truly excellent ophthalmologist, and I would highly recommend working with him to anyone seeking care for a challenging eye disease."

rater8 (Dr. Michael J. Ward)

"If I could do a 10 star review, I would! You will never be disappointed with the treatment, compassion and care you'll receive from Dr. Beth."

WebMD (Dr. Beth Handwerger)

"Even with an appointment they never see you on time. Once you are in the exam rooms, you are left for quite a long time and then shuffled around from room to room."

Yelp (Chester County Eye Care Associates)

"The only reason I could not give him five stars for the overall rating is because of the [wait time]."

Vitals (Dr. Samuel H. Galib)
