As a physician myself, I have to say I couldn’t be happier with Dr. Ward. She’s incredibly accommodating to even my own unforgiving schedule, will see both my children at the same time for my ease, and spend a wonderful amount of time not just taking care of your child but getting to know you and your family.

Dr. Cathy Ward has taken care of our son for 20 years since he was born in St. Lukes-Roosevelt Hospital (now Mt. Sinai West) until the present. We dealt with our son's surgery, developmental delays, early intervention, and special education classes in the school years, all with Dr. Ward's support. We are living in Queens and our son is in college, and we continue to see Dr. Ward because she's kind, caring, patient, a good listener, answers questions, and never rushes you. She's quick and gentle with taking blood and giving shots. She discusses nutrition and diet as health prevention and doesn't push medication. Her office is small, with pleasant staff, and in a great location.

We are so grateful to Dr. Ward for her partnership in caring for our son since he was three days old! She is the most attentive, patient, caring, and thorough pediatrician I could have imagined. I always feel respected by her and deeply respect her in turn. Now that I am pregnant again, it's a gift to know my daughter will be in such great hands. Her staff is also lovely, and we've always been able to keep things simple with scheduling and billing--a rarity!

Dr Ward has been our doctor since our daughter was born and she is the best doctors we have ever met. She takes time to visit in depth, she explains in great details the diagnosis and the treatment and she always got back timely for emergencies in non-office hours. She has also a great way of dealing with kids, my daughter happily goes to all of her visits.

I found Dr. Ward after leaving a large practice in Manhattan where I felt like my children were just a number to the physicians there. Dr. Ward has been the exact opposite and such a breath of fresh air. Dr. Ward takes the time to listen carefully to parents. She has provided thoughtful and personalized care for my kids and I have the utmost faith in her clinical judgement. Her concierge option is worth every penny.

Dr. Ward has served as our pediatrician for the past 10 years. Over the years she has not only cared for our kids physically but emotionally as well. Dr. Ward has helped us evolve into better parents and arms us with the confidence to tackle all that comes our way. Even after moving away from NYC we've never entertained the idea of finding another doctor.

Dr Ward is an exceptional pediatrician and person! And BiShe has always had expert guidance for both of my children with every emergency, injury, condition or illness we have faced. When one of my children had a rare condition that required an immediate ER visit, she was quick to identify it late on a Friday evening in August, getting us in to see her and then into an ER for scans the same evening. She has also made wonderful referrals to some of the best ranked specialists when needed. Her office staff is incredibly responsive and able to work in sick visits or other care quickly as well as all forms and other administrative matters. Their follow up is also wonderful especially compared with other pediatricians and practices that we have had. No matter how routine a matter might seem, they are always follow up to make sure everything has resolved as expected. In addition to being thoughtful, detailed, skilled and kind, Dr Ward and team are also just wonderful people!

Dr Ward is, in our experience, unmatched in NYC. Finding a doctor that is truly listening and not just shoving you to the next test or peocesure, and that takes the time to explain clearly pro and cons, without judging, is near impossible elsewhere in the city.

We have been seeing Dr. Ward since our now-13 year old son was born. Dr. Ward is exceptional in every way: in clinical reasoning, with straightforward and practical approaches to common problems and her attentive and compassionate approach. She is hard-working and more than generous with her time. Dr. Ward approaches her work with young people in the best possible way - with understanding, friendliness and a sense of humor. We are so fortunate to count her as our son's doctor.

Dr Ward has seen all three of our children since birth and I trust her implicitly. She is clear and helpful with suggestions and thorough in every visit. I never feel rushed when we see her and she takes her time to talk to my kids and listen to anything they want to tell her. She helped us to identify early on a rare condition that my son has and has guided us to the right specialists to treat him, and has communicated well with them throughout his diagnosis. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Dr. Ward is the best kept secret of the UWS. Great bedside manner. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. On multiple occasions, she goes above and beyond to follow up and ensure that her little patients are recovering. Hands down, one of the best decisions I made as a new mom 10+yrs ago.

I’ve been going to Dr. Ward since I was 3. She’s been giving excellent guidance through the years.

Dr. Ward is absolutely the best! Her expertise and caring approach make every visit a positive experience. I always leave her office feeling more informed and confident about my children’s health. She takes the time to explain everything in detail, ensuring that I walk out with valuable knowledge, and I consistently learn something new from each visit. Dr. Ward engages with both my 2-year-old and 10-year-old with genuine love and concern, and her gentle approach makes every visit smooth and easy. My daughter's and I absolutely adore her. I couldn’t ask for a better pediatrician for my family!

Dr. Ward has been treating and taking care of my children since a very young age. They are grown up now and still continue to see Dr. Ward. Dr. Ward is very knowledgeable, up-to-date with all the changes in medicine, very professional, cares about her patients and their families. She spends as much time as needed to speak to every person of the family. I am a doctor myself and so is my husband and we both trust her opinion 100%.

We found Dr Ward after moving to the uws. We have been seeing her for the past year. She is very very kind, always listens to our concerns and takes the time to explain everything, we have never felt rushed and my daughter loves to ask questions and Dr Ward always had an answer for her. My daughter had 3 pediatricians before Dr Ward and I’m upset we didn’t have her from newborn. Honestly I can’t even find the words to describe what a great person and doctor she is. The office staff is also fantastic! Which is a plus . Highly recommend Kimberly piscopo.

We have two sons, 18 and 16 who have had Dr. Ward as their pediatrician since the hour they were born. She is by far the most caring, well educated, honest and thorough physician. She takes her time to explain every detail to both the parent and the child. No question ever goes unanswered and she follows everything up with facts and most current research. We never feel rushed like with other Dr offices. If I could take my boys to her as adults I would :)

We have been seeing Dr. Ward the last 7 years (since our daughter was born), and have been impressed with her each and every time. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind, calm, and pragmatic. She is careful to check for all the possible things that could be behind symptoms, and makes excellent diagnoses. She is quick to prescribe medication when it's truly needed, yet does not to over-prescribe which we think is a great approach for our child. She is also incredibly responsive when we have urgent medical questions. Dr. Ward is also really great with kids - our daughter loves going to see her! In a nutshell, we feel incredibly lucky to have Dr. Ward as our pediatrician and we very highly recommend her to other families!!

From when we first met Dr. Ward, we knew that we had found a fabulous doctor and a kindred spirit. Someone we could trust immensely. It's hard to believe that that was over 18 years ago, and our eldest child is soon to phase out of being in the pediatric phase of life. One of the hardest parts would be to stop entrusting Dr. Ward with her medical care. But, as I write this, I realize that until she kicks us out of the practice (she won't), we will continue to consider her our child's primary doctor. Dr. Ward is not only smart and caring, she is someone who is completely focused on her patients' best interest. She won't give antibiotics when they're not necessary. She is candid and honest with patients big and small. She is someone that you never need to second guess because you can have confidence that she knows what she is talking about (or, she'll admit if it's a new challenge and she needs to research it). As you can tell, we couldn't ask for more in a pediatrician.

My son has been a patient of Dr Ward’s for 15 years , since he was an infant. He was a preemie and Dr Ward helped us nurture him into a healthy boy. Dr Ward talks to our son as if he is an adult , explaining every procedure and illness in detail , giving him agency and an opportunity to ask questions. She is very attending and knowledgeable, our family of doctors trust fully trust Dr Wards expertise. The office staff are very friendly, most of them have been working there for many years and know our family well, recognize us even thought we go just for annual physicals and an occasional sick visit. Dr Ward is an incredible pediatrician, supported by a wonderful team!

Dr. Cathy Ward's sharp intellect and years of experience allow her to make very thoughtful and effective treatment plans to address all of the issues that confront a pediatrician. She has a straightforward but gentle demeanor with her patients--and with parents as well. My husband and I are both physicians and we have full faith in her decision making and actively seek out her recommendations when our child is not well. Our child's annual well child visits are incredibly informative as she addresses issues that are likely to arise in each upcoming year proactively. She is an excellent communicator and our visits never feel rushed. Her office staff is accommodating and kind. I hope she can be our family pediatrician for the duration.

Dr. Ward has been my son's pediatrician since he was two days old. He is 8 now. She has cared for my son and my three nephews collectively for the last 20 years. She is more like family than simply a doctor to our boys! She is kind, empathic, honest, patient and spends quality time to ensure all of her patients needs are fully addressed during their visits. She is a great listener, highly experienced and extremely knowledgable. She is the kind of doctor we all wish we had as kids and wish we could have adults now.

We met Dr. Ward as the pediatrician in charge when my oldest daughter was born and before being released into the world.

From that first day, she has been caring and kind, very knowledgeable and patient; she and her team are simply there for us! We fully trust her advise and she has been a true sparing partner in bringing up our children; always resolving health issues but also very helpful when navigating from lactation issues over terrible twos to now teenage years. We will be forever grateful!

The day after my daughter was born, Dr. Ward was the only pediatrician that approached me. Then 2 years later, my son was born and she was there also. There is no one like her. She is kind, attentive, provides the best care and advice, with honesty and truth. That is hard to see in a doctor these days, but that's what patients want, especially for their children. Dr. Ward is and forever will be the G.O.A.T .

My two sons have been seeing Dr Ward since infancy and birth respectively and we are so lucky to have had her care for 11 years and counting. Dr Ward treats kids as people with agency and will give advice and options rather than instructions. She is great at explaining medical issues in digestible terms so kids and parents can make informed choices. We also value her emphasis on preventative steps we can take to avoid problems later in adolescence - and keeping medication and vaccines to the essentials. Best of all Dr Ward makes wellness visits fun and has a knack of putting kids and parents at ease when shots are needed l or have to make some hard choices. We highly recommend her and the Team at Big Apple Pediatrics to other families.

You can read all of the parental books in the world and get the greatest advice but until you experience firsthand what it is to be parent, nothing comes close. We are so luckily to have Dr.Ward as a pediatrician for our children. She was so calm and collective in what was a whirlwind of a process during the initial days of our first child. We spent half a day there and came back the next day. She takes the time to listen, understand what is happening, and gives the most honest advice. We have not once felt rushed or ignored. Dr. Ward spends as much time with you as you need, she returns calls on evenings and weekends. We have travel over an hour to visit her office and on the way there we think maybe it’s time for us to find someone closer, on the way back we both realize there is no one that we would trust more.

I moved to the suburbs but still bring my kids to the city to see Dr Ward for their health needs and annual checkup. I don't trust anyone else. My kids love her and speak highly of her. Coming to see Dr Ward is a treat for them rather than a chore or fear. I would recommend her to anyone without a doubt!

She has been our Pediatrician after changing from 2 previous pediatricians that made diagnostic errors. We have never met a doctor with such an incredible bedside manner who truly cares not just about the patient but as the person as a whole. She has cared for my daughter with complex needs in so many diverse circumstances and she is always a pleasure to go to.

Over the course of the last 14 years, our children have seen at least 7 different pediatricians in various office, downtown and uptown. Dr. Ward is far and away our very favorite. She is warm, caring, attentive, listens to the child, and treats the child with the utmost respect. She is reachable, never rushed, knowledgeable, and direct. There is usually a long wait in her office, but this is surely because she devotes so much time, focus, and attention on each patient.

Thank you as always. -Fernando

Dr. Ward is patient and professional, she really listens to both the parent and her patient. She always makes time for her patients when not feeling well and getting an appointment on the same day has never been an issue.

Dr. Ward is an excellent pediatrician. She provides professional care to her patients. She takes the time to address a parent's concerns and address any issues. When my son had feeding issues as an infant she was able to diagnosis the issue early and we were able to relieve my son of further pain and discomfort. I would recommend Dr. Ward to everyone. Our family travels over 30 miles to continue care with Dr. Ward because of how great she is with our children.

I used to live a couple of blocks away but have since moved 30 mins away in the Bronx. I still come see Dr Ward because of the the way she takes such great care of both of my kids. Sabrina is the best - remembers everything about my terrible 2 and could not be more patient. The ladies in the reception area always hold onto terrific samples for me and even call me to let me know they've got a stockpile for me. I can't imagine a better Pediatrician and a better run office.

I'm always pleased with how engaged Dr. Ward is with each visit -- whether a well-visit or sick-visit. This visit was an annual physical. What I appreciated was Dr. Ward engaging directly with and asking questions of my kids (7 & 9). She then speaks directly to me about what she information she is looking to get from the answers. She also describes the full body exam and various indicators she is looking for. I learn a bit more each annual exam.

Before the quick procedure, Dr Ward fully explained the process, benefits and (minimal) risks. It literally took seconds to do and I was breastfeeding my son in her office within five minutes. I'd 100% recommend Dr Ward for those looking to clip a tongue tie. She super chill yet very upfront and we will definitely be coming back.

Dr. Ward is an amazing pediatrician, she takes her time in the appointments to listen to concerns and suggests appropriate treatments and referrals to specialists. She remembers every patient and our kids love her. I also like that she is non-alarmist and tends to only medicate for infectious sicknesses. Because she is a single practitioner, there can be a wait to see her, but it's worth it.

Dr. Ward is an amazing pediatrician, she takes her time in the appointments to listen to concerns and suggests appropriate treatments and referrals to specialists.

Dr. Ward is the best option as a pediatrician for your family, she is extremely knowledgeable and always wants the best for your babies. She keeps calm in every situation and guides you through everything and explore every option with you. I also like that she does not push a specific medicine/brand and gives you option for you to choose based on your family’s values.

Dr. Ward is amazing! I took my daughter to get her ears pierced and was so impressed by Dr. Ward’s attention and ability to listen. At that time, she wasn't our pediatrician, but I switched to her practice right away. She is warm, empathetic, and my kids actually look forward to their visits. Dr. Ward is always available to answer any medical questions I have, even late at night, and her diagnoses are spot on without being alarmist. She’s attentive to my kids' asthma needs and takes her time answering our questions, which I really appreciate. Nina at the front desk is fantastic too. We’ve always been able to get appointments that fit our schedule, including sick visits. Sometimes we have to wait to see Dr. Ward, but that’s okay because she spends quality time with each patient. Even after moving out of state, Dr. Ward is still our pediatrician, and we adore her!

We were lucky enough to be recommended to Dr Ward with our oldest who is now 12. She’s the one for both our boys and I definitely think our family would be lost without her. She’s not only insanely smart but so personal and remembers every details of both your children and you as a family. I only feel better when Dr. Ward tells me it’s going to be okay because without her stamp of approval I feel lost! She will always make time for you and have her undivided attention during every appointment. She’s also AMAZING with the shots. So fast and light handed that my boys are dreading when they’re older and will have to have a different doctor do it for them! Even though we moved further away we didn’t leave the office and honestly, I would drive hours for our appointments with her.

Time with her is like working with a small town doctor who knows lots about you and is available, devotes real time to you, and follows up with care and attention. At the same time, she is very up-to-date on latest research and methods. Most importantly, my kids love and trust her.

Dr. Ward is truly a wonderful doctor. I have had two pediatrician prior to finding Dr. Ward. She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and has never made me feel inadequate in my decision making around my children’s health. Her experience speaks for itself.

Not only do you receive a great pediatrician with Dr. Ward, you also receive the pleasure of dealing with her competent and pleasurable staff. Nina is an absolute doll and answers all my needs and questions without hesitation.

Our 12-year-old daughter was not hitting her growth chart marks and Dr. Ward wanted to run some tests. We just thought she was a late bloomer and it turned out she has Celiac disease. She had never had any other symptoms (other than not growing) and Dr. Ward made sure we checked all the boxes. So very thankful for this diagnosis, if it wasn't for her, our daughter may have gone thru puberty without reaching her full growth potential and we would have never known, or known too late. Thank you Dr. Ward!

She always gives us as much time as we need for our questions, and we always leave with answers, a clear path forward and peace of mind.

She is a great listener, shows so much respect for our kid, and offers sound advice. It's abundantly clear that she cares about the well being of children and their safety and self-esteem. She's a great pediatrician!

I consider it a blessing to have found Dr. Ward. She is compassionate, caring and exceptionally knowledgeable--and is always willing to share her knowledge and answer all questions. There are few who are like Dr. Ward, who have the technical expertise and an exceptional bedside manner.

We have been seeing Dr. Ward since the day my son was born --over 4.5 years ago and we can't rave enough about her. At every doctor appointment, she takes the time to listen to our concerns, asks us probing questions and provides us with her diagnosis which is usually spot on. We recommend Dr. Ward to all our friends and family. Sometimes the office wait can be a little long, but once it is your turn you have her complete undivided attention which is so important for first time parents. Her staff is also wonderful! We have since added our 18 month daughter to Dr. Ward's patient list!

Dr. Ward is attentive, she takes her time to explain everything to you to ensure you are comfortable. I moved out of state and would travel to the city to see Dr. Ward for my daughter's routine visits. Dr. Ward ROCKS!!!!!!

Dr Ward has been my children's paediatrician since birth (she actually had no choice as I was ready to camp outside her practice!) We would never consider going anywhere else. My daughters think she is super cool - primarily due to her bedside manner. She has spoken to them with respect from the moment they could understand her. She is always there for parents even on those days when anxiety takes over rational thought. She makes sure that each step for treatment is understood. She is straight talking - there is no situation where you have to try and decipher what she is telling you. She will always follow up to make sure everything is OK. We love that drugs are not always her first reaction to an illness. It helps that she has a great sense of humour. The fact that she finds foster homes for cats and kittens, combined with being a former Airforce pilot just adds to her "coolness" ratings! We love her. We truly feel that Dr Ward and her staff are a part of our family.

She has an awesome bedside manner and is always willing to spend time with us to discuss any questions or concerns. She is great at providing detailed explanations of her diagnosis. The only criticism is that her office staff is just OK, not at the amazing level of Dr Ward, and that due to her willingness to spend time with patients the wait times can get excessive.
