Amanda Ward, D.D.S., PLLC, Norman Pediatric Dentistry, writes:

“Scott ‘Pops’ Ward—or as I call him, Dad—is such a huge asset to our practice. Scott is our business manager, handling all things payroll, bills and banking, all vital to having a successful business. However, where he really shines is his care for all of us in the office: staff, patients and fish included. He always has a friendly word and smile for everyone. He runs endless errands to keep us well-fed and in stock of all the necessities. And he takes care of the fish tank, Norman Pediatric Dentistry’s crown jewel! He spends countless hours tending to it and ensuring it’s ready for all the patients who enjoy it so much! We are so thankful for Pops and his willingness to take care of any ‘Pops’ jobs’ with a smile. He keeps NPD running smoothly and looking good!”
