Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Ball is not only professional, but truly cares
I have had numerous procedures with Dr. Ball and although no one ever wants to need medical attention I am glad he was there to meet my needs and focus me on a pathway to better health. Dr. Ball has been professional and inspirational in my life.

Dr Ball was extremely rude, watched the television the whole time while informing me of my symptoms, and became condescending when I asked about what he was telling me and said ‘I’m a general surgeon I just say high levels because you’re not going to know what I’m talking about’. With all due respect to education and experience, knowing my levels of a test conducted on my body should not be irritating to a Doctor.
