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.

Healthcare is not the same without this guy!
I started seeing Paul back when he worked with Dr. Duhon in LaFayette, Georgia. I can honestly say I never had a bad thing to say or even think with anyone in that office. I seen Paul Ballinger as my primary provider back then, I don’t think they’ll ever be another person that would put the effort into their job that he did. I am sure it took the help of his fellow colleagues to make some of it happen but he was an exceptional medical professional, and also the people he worked with. I now ride by the old doctors office that has been turned into a veterinary clinic remembering something good our town once had. The grade these guys got was highest attainable, not only for their great medical work, but for their laughs, smiles, and good conversation, but most of all a feeling that they really cared, something that meant the most! I wish nothing but blessings for the people that worked in that healthcare facility.

Told existing patient’s mother when requesting an appointment “oh no, I won’t touch her with a 10 foot pole!” Patient had a UTI. According to Ballinger they are not seeing sick patients. No, I “wouldn’t touch (recommend) him with a 10 foot pole”

Did not provide services to a old blind person because he did not read all the instructions. Staff was rude and not helpful.

I have known Dr. Ballinger for 33 years, and I can say with certainty, he is topnotch when it comes to being a medical professional. He has diagnosed problems that no other doctor could do. I would recommend him to anyone because he can be trusted.

I absolutely love Dr. Ballinger. He is patient, listens, and is extremely knowledgeable. Prior to the Hutcheson problems, I had no complaints with his practice and considered him to be my family's primary care giver. However, since the Hutcheson problems began, we have been unable to get a call through his office to either speak with a nurse, or even schedule an appointment, despite repeated attempts. As much as we like him, we have had to seek out another primary care provider.

I love Paul Barringer! The only reason we sought another practice was because of his support team. Has the office reopened and is the staff the same?
