PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
Dr. Alan Ward has a strong interest in research and has designed and implemented a number of the treatment protocols used at Plano Animal Clinic. These protocols, known as PAC alternative therapies, include treatments for viral disease, glaucoma, inflammatory bowel disease, heartworm disease, and others. He takes a whole body approach to healing the root causes of illness, as opposed to symptomatic treatment of clinical signs. His methods are geared toward helping the body heal itself, and in so doing, he has seen many animals recover from illnesses he would not have thought possible 10 years ago.
ABOUT DR. WARD
Dr. Ward was born in Dallas and grew up in Richardson, Texas, one of three children, graduating from Berkner High School in 1974. He did his undergraduate and graduate studies at Texas A&M University and began his veterinary career in 1980. Practicing at two different locations in Dallas before moving to Plano, he became the new owner of Plano Animal Clinic (PAC) in 1984.
He is married to Telma Ward, a native of Brazil, and they have two grown sons and two grandchildren. Their older son served one tour in Iraq as a U.S. Marine, and their younger son is graduating from the University of North Texas this year (2008). A member of his local, state, and national veterinary associations, Dr. Ward takes advantage of continuing education opportunities to keep abreast in the fields of conventional and alternative veterinary medicine.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Special thanks to my lovely wife, Telma, for her patience, understanding, and loving support.
Thanks to my great staff at Plano Animal Clinic for their hard work and concern for our clients and their pets. A big thanks also to Elaine Davis for her editing skills, computer entry, and having the patience of Job… and to Cheryl Voris, of 5'Odezyn, for bringing it all together so well on this website.
Most importantly, I give thanks to the Lord God, who makes all things possible. He is the source of my inspiration and understanding – as Christ is in me, the hope of glory, and in Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. All that I am or hope to be comes from Him.
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT
Dr. Ward is something of an amateur biblical scholar and, outside the clinic setting, enjoys speaking to interested groups regarding the Bible’s effect on science, history, and medicine. The principles he lays out are closely related to the ones he used to develop his immune modulation protocols for treating viral disease and immune disorders. As time permits, Dr. Ward avails himself to those interested in hearing more on how an ancient text may affect contemporary science and medicine. Discussions are limited to the Dallas/Fort Worth area and may be arranged by calling (469) 500-3824. Please leave contact information including your name, phone number, and location (city). Thank you.
