Patient Reviews
Dec 06, 2023
Doc Ballantyne performed a surgical robotic repair of a large hernia in late September. He was great to talk to regarding the surgery & recovery process. Results of the surgery was 10/10, no problems whatsoever & healing process was exactly as explained. ANY other general surgery I may need in the future will be performed by Doc Ballantyne. Easy to talk to & skilled surgeon.
