Dr. Jennifer Lynn Ball, DO

The greatest, kind and caring! May have to wait a bit but she also takes her time so I appreciate that!

I am very happy with Dr Ball. She is caring, compassionate and takes the time to listen to my concerns. I am not happy with front desk staff. I came in with a cold and as a courtesy to patients and staff, I asked for a mask. I was told to walk back to lab and get one. The MA pointed to what cabinet I should open to get the mask myself. Really? The office waiting room is drab, depressing and clutter throughout the office. From waiting room, lab to Infusion Room. Checking out is a joke. Always a line, Staff is rude and pretty much argues with me about my next appointment. Never scheduled correctly. FCS needs to get their act together. I wish I stayed at Moffitt for my Infusion, but I chose location over quality of care.

In my opinion Gulfcoast Oncology should not even be in business. They have pharmacy techs mixing chemo meds with no pharmacists on staff. Therefore no one checks the meds for accuracy or integrity before they are infused into patients. I worked there and never once did a pharmacist check my work (obviously because there were no pharmacists). We often even had to calculate the dosages. This can prove to be deadly to cancer patients if there were ever a mistake made in the compounding process. Imagine getting 10x's the dosage you needed- My advice- choose a clinic that you can actually go and meet and talk with the pharmacist (they will have a license on the wall showing they are a Registered Pharmacist); otherwise I would not trust my life to a pharmacy tech. Just BEWARE!!

We brought our father in for chemo who has stage 4. we know what his future will be.Dr Ball has a nurse at her countryside office that has a cold stone heart.Her name is Karen keep your family away from her.I certainly hope no one in her family ever is diag with cancer. She certainly needs a course on caring for them gently while we still have him on this earth for a very little while.Because of her is why we travel to a further office.
