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.

Dr. Ballam so excels in providing patient care that getting an appointment is challenging. His care is solution based; at every visit he inquires what he can do for me, then listens and together we come up with a plan. He is a pleasure to work with.

Fair enough
I have had this doctor twice as my primary. Reluctantly the second time. The first appointment was during covid and I did a video appointment. He said he didn't have a camera and I wouldn't be able to see him. That was odd. The second appointment was an office visit. He came into the exam room with his white coat torn completely up the side. I mentioned it and he got irritated. This encounter lasted around 10 minutes. When you answer his questions his response is always 'fair enough' My last and final encounter was around 30 days ago. I will never go back to this person. He claims to be an Osteopath but only prescribes drugs. During my recent bout with covid I called his office and left a message. He never returned my call. An email was answered appropriately 25 days after being sent. Beware.

Superior Doctor
Dr. Ballam is a superior doctor. I appreciate that he takes the time to carefully explain the side effects of each and every medication that he prescribes. His knowledge is extraordinarily impressive. No other doctor I have visited has ever devoted the amount to time Dr. .Ballam takes to listen and work as partner in a patient’s treatment plan. He really cares and wants his patients to get better. He has my total respect and confidence.

I think Dr. Corbin is very efficient. Some reviews disparaged his bedside manner, but I do not want the High School Prom King as my doctor, I want efficiency and expertise.

Excellent!
Dr. Ballam & his staff are so friendly to me. I love the fact that they don’t drag out appointments. He’s super thorough and EXTREMELY knowledgeable. First PCP I’ve had in years that works for me. I suggest him to people all the time.

Dr. Ballam has been my doctor for about a year. He is very knowledgable and courteous always. He answers all my questions and does not make me feel rushed. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Strangest visit I have ever had with an MD. He was very abrupt, and didn't explain anything. I could have seen a friendlier robot. He may be book smart, but he has miles to go before I would consider him to be a good doctor.

Dr Ballam
Not good , agree with comments : staff doesn’t call back, rushes you thru appointment, No follow up or phone call on blood work which required attention, doesn’t listen , eyes dont leave his laptop to talk to you. Staff is rude and wont admit mistakes.

Not Recommended
I have seen Dr. Ballam for the past 2 years. My experiences have been frustrating as he doesn't listen and is pushing more and more drugs. He offers band aids and does not get to the root of problems. I am very disturbed that he uses medical scribes and always in a hurry. I don't recommend him.

Not at all.
I met with Dr. Ballam for the first time 2 days ago. He never, never made eye contact with me. His manner was rote and rushed--absolutely no follow up on my comments other than, "fair enough" or "do you have any concerns or questions?" -- even if I has just asked a question. I will be looking for a new primary doctor.
