Dr. Nate Ward
Dr. Nate Ward is a general dentist who is originally from Springville Utah. He attended Brigham Young University before going to the University of California San Francisco for Dental School. During school in San Francisco Dr. Ward was introduced to surfing which is his favorite pastime. He enjoys surfing locally in Santa Cruz and on the Peninsula. Dr. Ward and his wife Kim have three boys and one daughter so when he is not working or surfing he is enjoying time with his family.
Dr. Ward has the same treatment philosophy and style as Dr. Brown and we think you will really enjoy getting to know him. When Dr. Ward is in the office you will continue to see all the friendly faces you have come to know. He is gentle, kind, and a very skilled Dentist.
