Patient Reviews
Nov 25, 2024
With approximately 2 years in between Dr Ballard mastered both total hip replacements for me. I can tell you that my only enemy in the process on the first one was my own fears of the unknown. Dr Ballard makes you feel so confident and secure that you are in his hands now. He loves the Lord and you know it. My second total hip replacement was so much easier because I already had the faith and confidence in Dr Ballard from my previous hip replacement. If you are fortunate enough to get an appointment with Dr Ballard, you will feel just as blessed as I do for having the privilege of his expertise.Marjorie Bradford Soddy-Daisy, Tennessee
