    I had waited a considerable amount of time after being referred to have the appointment. I had hoped my concerns would be more thoroughly addressed during the visit. Unfortunately, no explanation for the symptoms I've been experiencing and no new treatment options were offered. Some possibilities I thought were worth exploring were dismissed entirely. The only suggestions were tests I've already tried without results. It seemed clear that the doctor hadn't fully reviewed my medical history and wasn't as prepared for the appointment as I had hoped. If the doctor wasn't able to determine the appropriate treatment, I would have appreciated a referral to another specialist who might be better equipped to help.

    Horrible experience. Dr. Ball blew his nose during the visit and did not wash his hands. He then passed me papers and cards. He was negative and only was with us for 5 mins. He prompted us to leave the room 2x (awkward) while he wrote his note. Very unprofessional.

    Dr. Ball seemed very aloof and uninterested in my condition. I had to drag every piece of information from him and he seemed annoyed that I had questions. I left his office feeling as though I had wasted my time. I don't think that I would use his services again.
