Patient Comments
- December 23, 2020De Ard is very knowledgeable and brings a level of understanding that I've only experienced with one other physician in my lifetime.
- November 17, 2020Dr. Ard is extremely professional, super kind, and most of all down-to-earth. He makes it easy to share things and not walk away feeling like crap about it. He doesn't have a God complex some providers.
- November 1, 2020My son in law is now in the program because of Dr. Ard.....cannot say enough good about Dr. Ard
- October 19, 2020Excellent doctor and human. Wish there were more like him in this world.
- September 21, 2020whenever I email Dr. Ard he responds to my questions quickly. His answers are thorough and easy to understand. I have complete confidence in his care.
- September 15, 2020Great experience as usual. Dr. Ard is a genuinely kind person and it shows. You have some providers who do this just for the money, the power, or the clout. You then have those like Dr. Ard who does it because he cares and not just about the work that he does but the people. He is super professional, very welcoming, down to earth, funny, and all around a good human being. Having interacted with some doctors who think they are God. I'd like to take the time to say that WFBMC has a really good provider in Dr. Ard and it would behoove this company to acknowledge that and do all that you can to keep him and those like him.
- August 18, 2020Dr. Ard is simply the best - the very best.
- August 3, 2020I'm a medical professional as well as my wife & 2 of my cousins. I'm typically very critical when it comes to reviewing providers, but *Dr. Ard was incredible.
- May 23, 2020Dr.Ard is an exceptional physician. He is the reason I remain optimistic when I go through my weight loss journey.
- May 23, 2020I would recommend Dr Ard to anyone that want to lose and maintain a healthy weight
- April 20, 2020Dr. Ard seemed to quickly adapt at what level to give me information- not overly simplified and not too complex. That's an art when talking to someone for the first time! :)
- April 17, 2020Dr. Ard is the very best. Have total confidence in him and his team. They really know their stuff. Very highly recommend!
