Blake Ballard is truly a gem. She was very clearly showed my where my heal was broken on the x-ray and explained how it was healing. She showed compassion when I asked her to speed up my recovery. It seems heals heal on their own time. I enjoyed my appointment with Blake Ballard and look forward to seeing her in three weeks.

Ms. Blake & the nurses were very cool. Ms. Blake even asked where I lived and offered for me to come to my next appointment at the other office she primarily works at because it's literally 2 miles from where I live!

5 out of 5 Reviewed on 2024-07-13

She was friendly and professional, as well as thorough I felt. I struggle with the fact that there seems to be such limited physician availability at Emory, so that we can really only see a PA in any kind of timely way. But that's an overarching issue; in this case I felt fine with the care I was given.
