Reviews
Dr. Ballard and his staff were super awesome!! First time procedure and was very nervous about being put to sleep. Let me say they were absolutely wonderful in taking care of me from start to finish!!! I recommend them 1000%!!!
Well so far no one has called me back when I was told they were going to call and give me a phone visit or call me and schedule an appointment. And this was all I got was a survey. They were going to call. It's been 2 days.
It was great! I didn't feel a thing. It was like taking a good nap and when they woke me it was all over. The staff was overly friendly and I felt comfortable with everyone and everything from beginning to end!
My initial appt. with Dr. Ballard came with great expectations and he didn't disappoint. I found him very knowledgeable and concise in diagnosing my condition. Dr. Ballard was professional and easy to talk to regarding my concerns.
This was my second time having my colonospy. I must say as usual the staff and the doctors each were comforting and helpful. I would recommend this facility and the doctor.
