Dr. Ellen Margaret Ballard, MD

She measured my leg to see if I had atrophy, but did it outside my pants that had cargo pockets. Obviously she was not looking for a real number on the size of my Obviously atrophy leg. One looks distinctively smaller. She reported none. She went on to write a report for workers comp that they didn't like. So she wrote a new report changing it to better suite there needs. I got a copy of both fact. As far as I'm concerned she is a complete fraud who is paid to find workers healthy or as good as your going to get I there words.

If Worker Comp sends you here it over She for them not you believe me. It should be a law that stops this one day it going to be uncover and all the dirt will surface

Horrible human being

Workers' Comp. sent me to Dr. Ballard after a hand surgeon (that was on the team of the first three (3) hand transplants) advised that I needed ulnar nerve surgery. She ordered an MRI - which I didn't need because the nerve was involved - not the tendons and/or other structures. Then she advises Workers' Comp that my condition is as good as it is going to get and no need for the surgery. Therefore, Workers' Comp. denied the surgery. Who's advise would you go with - a doctor that is in workers' comp. pocket or a hand surgeon that made international headlines for the hand transplants?? You are wasting you time and effort going to this person. If workers' comp. sends you here - go ahead and call an attorney!!

Rude, and very inconsiderate, to apt after work still in work clothes puts me in some paper shorts ask round about questions to make you out to be a liar. Then proceeded to pretend help me on her table, tells me to lay back. Writes on her paper then tells me to bend my knees and forced my injured to the point of her likening, tells me to lower them, I guess I wasn't moving fast enough for her because she then snatched my ankle and started pressing and pushing against my knee. It seemed every bit of her intentions were to inflict the most pain while asking questions I could hardly answer due to the pain. Said nothing was wrong with me basically and I was faking everything. I just want to walk and function like I used to.

She does not communicate with her patients at all. She doesn't care about her her patients. I will never go there again. The worst Doctor I've ever been to

Very accurate in diagnosis. Don't be so closed minded.

She is strictly on what ever company sends you there sides. I have 4 bulging discs and was told I need surgery. Workers comp refuses to pay for it so they send me to her for a evaluation. She spends 5 minutes with me and says your done you can leave. Three weeks later workers comp tells me she has released me to go back to work. I guess my bulging discs just automatically healed on their own. My lawyer is going to fight this but it is ridiculous that she is even allowed to practice medicine. No personality, no people skills with patient and a I am better than you smug attitude. Shes is so rude and clearly doesn't care about anything but the money she gets being paid off by the workers comp companies. Karma will get you and I for one will be glad!

very good dr, , been going to her for about 15 years.
