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 Ballinger is definitely the best Podiatrist you could ever hope for. He fixed my problems in one visit, which other Podiatrist had not be able to accomplish. He was very patient and explained everything thoroughly. Dr Ballinger also explained in detail all options I could pursue to fix my foot and ankle problem. He deserves 10 stars in my opinion. We are very fortunate to have him.

For the chronic foot heel pain and shin splints that I experience, he Just prescribed orthotics and brooks/new balance shoes from the store “footwear,etc” and left me with myself to deal with my pain. The “prescription” barely helped and made any difference. It’s been over a year since I got custom orthotics after I got Otc orthotics as he recommended and it’s not really helpful.

I feel like he is against performance basic foot care. He is quicker to cut your whole nail bed off than do a pedicure.

I went to see him last year and had a bad experience. I suspect that I got overtreatment by wearing cast, for the foot injury was minor, had no bony issue and I still could put weight on my injured foot. The walking boot may be a more suitable option for my case.
