Claire has sat with me while I cried, hugged me when I was down, and always greeted me with such a caring heart.
The journey through infertility is difficult and can best be explained as a roller coaster. There are so many ups and downs while trying to navigate a world with unique medical terminology and psychological needs. Claire Ward, NP in the Fertility and Reproductive Health outpatient practice is one of the most caring and compassionate practitioners I have ever met. There are so many questions, emotions, and heartbreaks on this journey and when you are lucky enough to be cared for by Claire, you know that you are always in the best possible hands. As a nurse, I feel like I have very high expectations for RNs and NPs. And, from day 1, I was blown away by the time Claire takes to explain, discuss options, and make sure that every question is answered. She never rushes you and has the unique ability to make you feel like she is there for you and only you. I have even seen other patients mention their positive encounters with her in some local infertility chat groups. She works alongside each of the physicians in the practice and supports the patients in the way that only an NP can. She provides excellent customer service, the highest quality patient care and will go above and beyond for you. She has sat with me while I cried, hugged me when I was down, and always greeted me with such a caring heart. She always follows through as promised and will call me personally to relay important information and be certain that I understand any changes to my care. Not only do I feel like Claire has been on my journey with me for 2 years, but she has inspired me professionally as well. As a nurse of 13 years, I never had a desire to pursue NP education. Claire has inspired me to want to be better for my patients, has made me want to emulate her, and has reminded me of what Florence envisioned for us all.
