Saw Dr. Ballantyne @ 5 years ago for pain in the left knee. Following a short series of x-rays, in consonance with a medical history of the knee, it became apparent that a total knee replacement (TKR) would be required. Dr. Ballantyne was very careful to ensure that the new knee joint would "sync" effectively with my leg, and in short order, the deed was done. Recovery was very fast, and the entire process of replacement was essentially pain-free. When it's time, I'll return to Dr. Ballantyne for the right knee!

Dr. Ballentyne is a matter of fact Dr. He was professional, spoke frankly, said what he thought and then he was out of there. I would recommend him to everyone.
