Excellent doctor. Have had three laser surgeries and one cataract surgery
with him. All results excellent. I trust him with my eyesight. Can't think of
a higher compliment than that.

I have been followed by Dr. Ball for the past three years for increased pressure inside my eye. I have been pleased with the friendly, helpful staff. The wait time is not excessive to see the doctor for my scheduled appointment. The surrounding are much more attractive than when I first started seeing Dr. Ball. The recent renovations were much overdue. Dr. Ball is easy to talk to and explains findings in easy to understand language.

I have all compliments for Dr. Ball's office. This is what most people are looking for but, somehow, cannot find in an Opthamologist. The moment you step into the building, all personnel are warm and friendly, courteous and all. Believe me, I have been to offices over the years where the clerks and assistants were stone faced...very uncomfortable....I wondered, what are they so angry about? Just the opposite with Dr. Ball's office. Thank you!
