Dr. Ballard has done two of my joint replacements...first knee and then shoulder a year later. He completely explained each procedure to me, making sure that I understood what he told me, and then answering every question I had, some of which I am sure he had to answer more than once. Both procedures went beautifully, and I had full confidence in everything he said and did. I would highly recommend Dr. Ballard to anyone who has orthopedic needs.

Dr. Ballard took the time to explain the non-surgical options prior to discussing surgery. He answered all of our questions with a very friendly and professional attitude. The rest of the staff that I met were also friendly and professional. Dr. Ballard has performed two surgeries on my aunt with excellent results, so I chose him for mine.

Dr. Ballard was/is my husband's ortho surgeon for knee replacements. Great results for my husband and my hubby can't give this doctor enough praise. I recently went to see Dr. Ballard for ortho issues and was extremely pleased with his caring, listening, knowledgeable, personable attitude. I would highly recommend Dr. Ballard!

I was very pleased with Dr Ballard and he did an excellent job on my knee. I read the surgical report and he did a through job of diagnosing and fixing my knee problem and also his office staff was very helpful. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

Very professional entire staff. All precautions taken to ensure a successful surgery and rehab. I would recommend this practice to family, friends or anyone needing their services. I'll be going back for the other knee as soon as possible.

Trust is very important with your doctor and staff. It's easy for me to say this as I have lots of trust and faith in Dr. Ballard. He helps me make health decisions. I had knee surgery two years ago and will have a hip replacement early 2017. I know he and his staff will take good care of me.
