I grew up in the small town of Cassopolis, located in southern Michigan. After graduating high school, I attended Central Michigan University and the University of Detroit Mercy where I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2001. In my early years, I had the advantage of working for a multi-doctor group practice where I learned and honed my skills in all aspects of dentistry. This allows me to offer a full range of services to my patients. I have always had a passion for dentistry and for the past 15 years have had the privilege of serving the tri-cities area. As a member of the American Dental Association, the Michigan Dental Association, and the Saginaw Valley District Dental Society, I am always keeping up with the latest innovations in dentistry. Giving back to the community is also a passion of mine. I truly enjoy donating time to the free clinics and cancer screening programs around Bay City. I also participate with Donated Dental Services of Michigan. This program allows patients who qualify to obtain free dental services through my office. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children. In 2008 we welcomed twins, a boy and a girl, into our family and it has been a joy watching them grow and mature over the years. As avid outdoors people, we enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, hunting, swimming, skiing, and other activities.

I have been a Dental Hygienist for 12 years. I began working with Dr. Wards team in August 2011. A graduate of Western High School and Delta College, I received my Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene in 2007. I am married to my husband Mark, and with him have two children. We love the outdoors and traveling. summers in Michigan are what we look forward to as we love to kayak, camp and golf. I love the profession I chose as a hygienist and can't wait to meet all the smiles that come my way.

As a 1992 graduate of Bay City Central High School, I have been a registered dental assistant with Dr Ward since graduating Delta college with an Associate Degree in 2004. I am married and together we have one daughter. When the weather allows my husband and I like to go on motorcycle trips. I am most happy when I'm able to gather with family and friends and spend time on the lake up north. Born and raised in Bay City Michigan, I love this area and am happy to see our city continuously grow.

I joined Dr. Wards team in January 2019. I graduated from Delta College in 2007 with an associate's degree in Dental Hygiene. With 12 years of experience, I am passionate about dental hygiene and love meeting new people. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing guitar, singing, golfing, and spending time with my family and friends.

I joined Dr. Ward's practice in June 2019. It is wonderful to work with such an amazing team. I have many years of experience in the dental field. It is very rewarding to me to be able to help patients get the dental care they need by assisting with any insurance questions or financial options. I am married with 3 wonderful children and in my spare time enjoy boating, working out, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

In the summer of 2019, I had the opportunity to accept a position with Dr. Ward's practice. Not only did I accept the position, but I am blessed with a wonderful new family. I am a graduate of Bay City Central, I attended Delta College and I have 3 amazing children. I enjoy Northern Michigan and all the outdoor activities it has to offer. I am looking forward to meeting and lending a helping hand to all of our patients.

Dr. Matthew Ward graduated in 2001 from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry after which he and his wife Stephanie moved to Anchorage, Alaska, working and enjoying the outdoors before relocating back to his home state of Michigan in 2004. In September 2005, Dr. Ward purchased his Bay City practice and has enjoyed raising his family and being a proud member of this community.
