Reviews
I had to take this moment to give Dr. Darren Ballard and his team 5 stars on a superb and excellent job during my recent visit at South Suburban Hospital for a colonoscopy screening. From the moment I walked in until I left, I was treated with the most ultimate care. Dr. Ballard was very hospitable and caring when I first met him. The anesthesiologist (Dr. Kumar) was kind and informative. He asked what can of music would I like before being sedated. The nurses were very considerate and loving. This entire experience under Dr. Ballard’s care was professional, loving and exceeded all my expectations. Dr. Ballard is now my gastroenterologist should I ever need him in the future. I only had one polyp, which was extracted and sent to pathology. I’m glad it’s all over now. If you are considering Dr. Darren Ballard for your medical needs and care, you will definitely be in good hands…. L. Dalcour
