Dr. Ball is clearly an expert and knows what he''s doing which gave me the confidence I needed to have surgery.

Was seen 25 passed appointment time, Dr. Ball always seems less than enthusiastic or accommodating to children the times we have interacted. We are almost 2 years into tubes and follow ups and I personally can''t wait for my son to grow out of them so we don''t have to have check ups anymore -the wait time for the kindness of interaction from the doctor is disproportional.

Dr. Has zero bedside manners. He was extremely rough with - it was not appreciated. Then after inducing my dizziness to the extreme , I asked for medication to help with dizziness- he told me.. we dont prescribe stuff like that here!? That is crazy talk. I work as for Cleveland Clinic and was very disappointed.
