Dr. Ballard gets a lot of gruff for being a workman's comp doctor and not caring about her patience. It's true she sees WC patients but she does care about those that are truly injured. She has the intelligence and experience to tell who is "faking" and who is seriously injured. She has taken very good care of my husband for the past year and a half. She does have a somewhat sarcastic personality that sometimes comes off as rude but I truly believe she cares about her patients. You just have to understand her humor. Her staff is wonderful and we have never waited more than 15-20 min. I think she is just misunderstood by a lot of people. We think she is a very good doctor.

I've been going to Dr. Ballard due to my workers comp injury and while it took some time to get to this point, I have been taken care of...my injury has been addressed...I've been treated as an individual an a human being and not some moron looking to get time off work. I like her no nonsense way when it comes to my injury, but she's still sweet and funny. Between her, the staff and everything else....I know my worker comp case is in good hands.

I felt like my health and well being has been sold to workmans comp through Dr Ballard. I was not listened to at all. It was pre determined what she was going to do with my case without listening to my concerns.

Dr. Ballard is a no-nonsense, straight forward professional. If she can't find anything wrong, she isn't going to prolong the situation. I found her to be courteous, kind and very blunt, which I enjoyed. We even had a couple of laughs and a very active conversation while I was having an EMG done. I was in a great deal of pain, and talk helped calm me down and keep my mind right.

Bottom line: If you are looking for time off, money or anything else from workmans comp, might as well be ready for dissapointment. She doesn't play games. However, when it comes down to it, she is an outstanding Doctor with years of experience and a genuine care for her patients.
I am glad to have her treating me. I am confident she will do everything she can to get me back to work.

As for her staff, they have been nothing but kind and courteous to my schedule and my privacy. Outstanding people all around. They work hard to make sure WE can work hard.
