Reviews
Dr. Ballard is awesome, and the staff is fantastic!
Dr Ballard is a kind and understanding dr and what ever goin on with you he'll fix it and make you better
Very knowledgeable. Dr Ballard knows what he is doing.
I was s little hesitant about being put to sleep but everyone there put my mind at ease. Before I knew it it was over. I read reviews about people saying it seemed like it was over before it started. I would 100% agree. True professionals and very nice. The whole process didn't hurt either.
I had a colonoscopy and it was short and easy.
