Dr. Hieu Ball, MD

Dr Ball is one of the most caring and understanding Doctors I've known. He supports what is right and will fight for his patients. He truly cares and I found out is well respected by his colleagues and other patients as well. He is an incredible doctor and human being. After 6 years of battling for approval for surgery with Workman's Comp, he remains pro-active and supportive. I relocated to Southern California and continue to see Dr Ball.

I was diagnosed with a severe cervical spinal stenosis that was causing progressive weakness in my arm. A close family friend who is an experienced doctor highly recommended that I go see Dr. Ball. Dr. Ball gave me a thorough examination and carefully reviewed all of my x-rays and imaging studies in great detail. He took the time to explain my condition to me in terms that I could understand. He was exceptionally knowledgeable and kind. I am very grateful to Dr. Ball for helping me to navigate through a really difficult problem. I was fortunate to get recommended to Dr. Ball, and I hope this review will help others get the same great care that I did.

Prior to seeing Dr. Ball, I had gone to 8 different orthopedic surgeons in the bay area. I was suffering from a badly compressed and herniated disc and was in constant pain. I felt extremely comfortable with Dr. Ball because he teaches disc replacement surgery and he listened to all my concerns. The surgery was a success and I now have my life back. Thank you Dr. Ball.

I had two neck surgeries/ fusions from injuries at work. Very good Doctor and his bedside manner is great. I don’t know why the other person said he was bad. His staff is very friendly. Highly recommended from nursing staff and x-ray departments. They don’t work for him, so to get that representation says something!

I left his office in tears today. He is rude, doesn't explain anything. I asked him spefically to go over al findings on. MRI, he wanted nothing to do with that. He has horrible bed side manner, and I absolutely got no resolution at my appointment today.

Had 2 cervical fusions 2005 and 2008. Dr Ball is amazing. He is kind, sweet, thoughtful and he communicates perfectly we all understand. Great bed side manner. He cares about you the patient and your familes well being. Surgery is always scary, Your In good hands with Dr Ball.

Dr Ball has been patient with workers comp and has successfully performed Discetomy with fusion, after almost 3 years of waiting for an approval. Very one I came in contact at San Ramon Regional hospital had nothing but kind words as far as Dr Ball is concerned.
