When we moved from Texas to Fort Collins, we knew we needed to find an orthodontist for my daughter and son. After consultations with several other orthodontists in town, we chose Dr. Ward because of his AMAZING service and staff. His office manager Betsey is one of the kindest people I know and you can tell she truly enjoys her job. Betsey and Dr. Ward's staff is always there to greet you with a BIG smile and a warm welcome at your appointment. My daughter enjoys going to her appointments to see how her teeth have progressed and to get a piece of chocolate when we leave. With braces being new to my daughter sometimes she feels a wire might have popped out. Dr. Ward and his staff are always happy to see her and make sure everything is ok. Also, my son had braces in Texas and we rushed getting them off before we moved to Fort Collins. I promised my son I'd take him to an orthodontist's in Fort Collins once we found one. His bottom teeth shifted over the months and really bothered him. We went to see Dr. Ward to see if he could correct my son's bottom teeth. Dr. Ward took the time to discuss several options with us. He was able to make some adjustments to his retainer and his bottom teeth. Hours later that same day, my son sent me a picture of his bottom teeth showing me they had already straightened. He was so excited his bottom teeth were straight again! I would HIGHLY recommended Dr. Ward to anyone who needs orthodontic care! Dr. Ward and his staff are truly committed, sincere, and compassionate to his patients. read more

Hear ye! Hear ye! (that's 'castle talk', right? :)) Shout out for Dr. Ward: My 8 year old just had oral surgery as part of the 'fix his developmentally uncooperative teeth' plan. The surgery was emotionally difficult for him, and I'd say he felt fairly not in control and a bit violated. The following week Dr. Ward put on his upper braces. And though my son already had his lower braces on, and had done fine during that visit, he was having a harder time handling having the upper braces put on. His face showed that he was going back to that place of helplessness and feeling violated. This is where Dr. Ward was really a knight in shining armor. (I had to use it!) He kept stopping and asking how my son was doing, and then even halted the whole procedure just so my son could take a break, get up, walk around, get a drink and pull himself together again. Upon recommencing, Dr. Ward very kindly offered to work through things differently, and hopefully more comfortably for my son. And even when Plan B wasn't ideal for my son, Dr. Ward easily, and kindly offered up a Plan C, making his job more difficult, but my son more at ease. The attention to, and respect for my son's feelings was HUGE, and could not have been handled better. Thanks to how he handled that visit, I will not need to go out of my way to convince my son that we need to go back again. And again. :) read more

My daughter was referred to Ward Orthodontics when she was 7 due to overcrowding in her mouth and I have been impressed ever since with the care that she continues to receive there. The staff is always friendly and professional and promptly answers any questions that I have. The office has the latest in diagnostic equipment and is exceptionally clean. I particularly like the fact that my daughter can receive "Castle Coins" for keeping her teeth clean, her appliance intact, and even for receiving awards at school, which she can then use to "purchase" very cool prizes. This system promotes a sense of responsibility for the child and actually makes them look forward to going to the dentist. As a mother of 2 children, I also appreciate the fact that they offer in house, no interest financing. This helps to better budget monthly and be able to afford the care that my daughter needs. My daughter loves going to this office, I think that the "Castle Coins" and the awesome rewards are the incentive to her, but Dr. Ward is gentle, as well and the entire staff always takes the time to ask her how she is doing, how school is going, and truly gets to know her. I would highly recommend Ward Orthodontics to anyone! read more

Ward Orthodontics is great! In the world of orthodontia, it is tough to be competitive; prices are about the same for Invisalign no matter which orthodontist you see, even without insurance. It really comes down to customer service, treatment management, and responsiveness to clients. I have been receiving Invisalign treatment from Ward Orthodontics since about March of 2014. I will admit, I chose the office based on the awesome medieval decor (you really need to see the pictures of this place), but I was immediately impressed by the warm and friendly demeanor of the office staff during my free Invisalign consultation. Office manager Betsy stood out the most for me. She was very personable from the start and still is (even after "winning" my business as a client). Dr. Ward is a friendly, competent and personable orthodontist as well. I am an adult client, but I notice how he interacts with the child clients. He talks to them with respect and is truly interested in how they're doing. If I had children, I'd be very comfortable with them in Dr. Ward's care. Also, they do NOT skimp on the reception desk goodies. We're talking Forrero Rocher. Delicious. read more

Dr. Ward is beyond amazing as a person and orthodontist. We now have two children that have completed treatment with Dr. Ward and really couldn't be happier. Our son started his treatment plan out of state and we weren't very happy with the office he came from. When we moved into Fort Collins we were very skeptical and careful to find an orthodontist that really cared about his patients beyond just their teeth. We certainly found that in Ward Orthodontics! All of the staff are so caring, so compassionate and so fun. From the moment we walked into the 'castle' office decor we knew this was the place for our family. The staff immediately greeted us and started to learn about our family. The kids, even our 8 year old, love coming to the office. Dr. Ward goes out of his way to care about you as a person first. Although his office is always aflutter with patients and their families, Dr. Ward takes the time to care. He knows how expensive braces can be and worked with our family on payment plans to be sure that it is not a burden. I can't really say enough good things about Dr. Ward and his staff! I know that your family will love him too! read more

We came to Dr. Ward on a referral for my 7 year old son and I can't even tell you how glad I am that I did! From the moment we walked in I knew that this office and staff were special. We were greeted by Betsy who immediately began talking with my son to put him at ease. There was no waiting to get started either. Our appointment was set for 2:00 and it started promptly at 2:00! When we met Dr. Ward he was very down to earth and comforting towards my son who was very nervous about this visit. We discussed the treatment that was needed and he put forth a plan immediately for us to get started. There was no waiting a month to begin which is something I had run into with other offices for my own orthodontic treatments. In fact, we started that day! In addition, it has always been a breeze to set up future appointments. They are very accommodating to children's school schedules and do their best to work with you. I have recommended this office to several people and will continue to do so! My son looks forward to his visits and is excited to see his progress! Thank you Dr. Ward and to everyone at Ward Orthodontics!!! read more

In a time where there are so many orthodontists that one can choose, my wife and I feel that we are so very fortunate to have found Dr. Ward. We have three children in braces and Dr. Ward and his amazing staff of workers have done everything possible to make this the most pleasant experience for us and the children. He is not just an orthodontist (which he is obviously very, very good at), he is first and foremost a "people" person who treats every single patient and their family members with the greatest of concern, care, and respect. The staff that works for and with Dr. Ward is second to absolutely NONE. They put a smile on your face every time we walk into the office. They are all so very personable and will do anything they can to make your experience a very good one. There really aren't enough stars to rate how wonderful this office, staff, and Dr. Ward really is. I HIGHLY recommend every family to get their orthodontics work evaluated and corrected by Dr. Ward and his very professional staff. I'm sure that once you do, you too will be writing words very similar to this posting! The Thetford's read more

I came to Ward on the recommendation from our family dentist. Being very new to the area I had no idea where to go for my 16 year old daughter. Nothing but friendliness from the entire staff the moment we walked in door. They took xrays of her mouth and went over the many options of treatment for my daughter. When it came time to talk about how much this was all going to cost and insurance is when I thought they were going to ask me to leave. You see I am divorced and with my ex husband living in NY and holding the primary insurance on our daughter I did not think they would except it. Not only did they except his insurance they worked with mine as secondary. They also set up our payment plan where I made so many payments then my ex would pay the rest. There is no problem the girls up front can't handle! Dr Ward along with the rest of the staff is awesome and makes my daughter feel very comfortable when she is in the chair! With the short amount of time since we started treatment my daughter's smile has changed so much and looks amazing! I would highly recommend Ward Orthodontics to anyone!!!! read more

Dr. Ward and his staff are exceptional! Both of my kiddos have gone to him for braces. My daughter has finished her phase I treatment and her teeth look GREAT! My son was born with Pierre Robin Sequence, so his mouth is a lot smaller than most. He has a severe crowding problem as well as an under-developed jaw, which is quite the challenge for any orthodontist. Dr. Ward has stepped up to the plate and is actively working on getting his teeth to cooperate with him. This is not something that can be completed overnight or even within a year. It will take time as it is a slow process. Dr. Ward goes above and beyond to make sure that everything is looking the way it should and he always takes time to discuss everything he has done after the visit is complete. If there is ever a time where we need to have him do a quick check, he's always willing to let us do that. This is an orthodontist that the kids LOVE to go see as his office is amazing and they get rewarded for taking care of their braces. Dr. Ward and his team are definitely TOP notch!!! read more

We shopped around a lot before choosing an orthodontic practice to meet the needs of our daughter The list of reasons why we chose Ward Orthodontics over the many other offices in Northern Colorado simply won't fit into one short review. I knew from my first phone call, that his staff was superb, Betsey, the office manager is one in a million! Her customer service, and genuine kindness is way above par, and hard to find anywhere anymore. Dr. Ward is the whole package deal! He is extremely knowledgeable, but also has an incredible chair-side manner. I am especially impressed with the way he is able to relate to the kids, but then turn and explain so professionally, yet, in terms I can understand, the step-by-step process of treatment and care to the parent. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement, and the castle coins program promotes just that, as do all the staff. Without reservation I have and would strongly recommend Ward Orthodontics. read more

We too LOVE Dr. Ward and his staff. We have twins daughters who we knew both needed braces badly for crowding, over-jets and cross bites. So, we did what most would do, we shopped around. We saw several different offices in the area, most were good but Dr. Ward and staff seemed to have everything we wanted. They were so friendly and helpful and I left the consultation feeling like I actually understood the process and what was needed. I was very impressed. We started treatment for both girls in January and the twins actually look forward to their appointments - that says a lot right there. Plus, they offer siblings discount, office contests, and just an over-all "happy to see you" attitude. We are very happy with the care and service we are getting from Dr. Ward and staff, I highly recommend them! read more

I am currently in the Invisalign treatment process with Dr. Ward and I am so thrilled by how easy it has been! When I went in for my initial consultation I was nervous that it was going to be a long and painful process, but I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I could begin treatment and how knowledgable Dr. Ward and his staff are. I am such a fan of Invisalign! I already notice a huge difference in the way my mouth feels and looks and the best part is that it really is invisible. I actually look forward to my appointments so that I can see the progress I have made. The staff is welcoming, personable, and passionate about the work they do. Dr. Ward and his staff have made this process so easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend them to anyone! read more

After consultations with several other orthodontists in town, we chose Ward Orthodontics because the incredible service and staff. We have been seeing Dr. Ward since January 2012 when my son started "Phase 1" treatment for severe underbite and crossbite issues. Couldn't be more pleased with his results. My older daughter has since started her braces treatment there as well. The office staff is always wonderful, and I can't say enough great things about the amazing Dr. Ward. Even when we had a late night emergency with my son's expander, he answered our call and met us at the office. Not sure how many other orthodontists would do that! We have and will continue to recommend Ward Orthodontics to all. read more

We love Dr. Ward and all of the staff at Ward Orthodontics! My daughter needed braces to pull a tooth down that was interfering with the roots of other teeth. Dr. Ward was very clear about what needed to be done, and how long it would take. He said the first phase would take between 6 and 8 months, and from the time the braces went on, to the time they came off, it was exactly 7 months. After the braces came off, she couldn't stop smiling. Her teeth look absolutely beautiful! My daughter always looked forward to her appointments, the office has such a fun atmosphere, and so many things for the kids to do. I would highly recommend Ward Orthodontics! read more

My son has finished up his first round of braces with Dr. Ward. We could not be happier with Dr. Ward and his amazing staff. Dr. Ward and the entire staff at Ward Orthodontics takes time with each patient, knows everyone's name, and really makes the office feel more like a home. Dr. Ward takes his time to explain the entire process with both us and our son. At every visit, Dr. Ward would explain what we should expect next. The staff is so sweet and really makes our family feel special. Even though our son has to go through Braces Round #2 in a couple years, we are looking forward to working with Ward Orthodontics again. Thank you!! Elissa Noble read more

I've had a lot of experiences with dentists and this office is run beautifully. Every staff member has been friendly, kind and welcoming--to my whole family. This is an environment that I feel confident my son is getting the best care done by people who really care. I didn't know what to expect going into this adventure but it was made simple by the staff. Right down to the "paperless" systems they have in place. All the forms and new patient information can be done on-line so on your first visit you're able to walk in and get started. I am completely confident in recommending Dr. Ward to anyone needing orthodontic work. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ward and his staff; my 7yr old was very anxious, nervous and flat out scared when we walked through the doors for her first ortho appointment. Immediately, the staff made her at ease and literally turned tears into laughter and changed her attitude from "never wanting to go to the orthodontist", to "when do I get to go back mom???" The extra effort and patience taken with the children is clearly a top priority. The amazing castle setting and coin program just top the whole experience off! The most amazing and professional office I have ever been in... read more

I went to see Dr. Ward after reading all the reviews that are out there. He is incredible and I truly cannot say one bad thing about my experience. From the moment that I called to inquire about their services to when I walked into the door, his kind and welcoming staff made me feel comfortable. There is a great atmosphere there for everyone who goes in. His office manager Betsey must be one of the most kind and welcoming people I have ever met. I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Ward. I would recommend him to anyone who needs orthodontic care! read more

I was delighted when I learned that Dr. Jared Ward was practicing in Fort Collins. I was the school counselor at Dr. Ward's elementary school, and I remembered him to be an outstanding student. It is the reason I chose him for my orthodontist, and I wasn't disappointed. I observed him working with children and adolescents, and he is not only knowledgeable, but is gentle, patient, and has a wonderful ability to make his patients feel at ease. After 18 months of wearing my Invisalign braces, I now have a beautiful smile. Thanks, Jared! read more
