He may have been good a one time, yet he is slipping. When dealing with complex issues, he is out of his league. Doesn’t stay up to date.

I've been seeing Dr. Ball for years. His upbeat attitude and cheerful disposition have always left me feeling much better every time I visit his office. There are many highly skilled doctors in our region but none are 'as skilled as Dr. Ball. Dr. Ball's sense of empathy coupled with the fact that he keeps up with current developments in medicine account for his adaptable approach to treatments. It's a pleasure and my good fortune to be one of his patients.

If you want a doctor who will spend time LISTENING to you and answering your questions, Dr. Ball is the one to see! Yes, you may have to wait while he's attending to other patients, but when it's your turn he's all there. Worth it, wouldn't change.

Dr. Ball is the only doctor I know that actually loves his job.Upon first meeting him you can instantly tell that he loves talking with patients and has a real passion for diagnosing illnesses and for curing/looking out for his patients.The only downside is that he's become so popular that he's accumulated a million patients and it's not always easy to schedule an appointment.

Chuck Ball is a wonderful Family Doctor. I will never see anyone else. He cares about his patients and acts as almost more of a friend than a doctor. His patients always know they can talk to him about anything. He runs and runs and runs and will do anything in his power for his patients.
