I was referred to Dr. Ballas for treatment of pelvic pain and evidence of fibroid tumors. I knew it was almost certain I'd be recommended for a hysterectomy, and was immediately impressed by Dr. Ballas' thoughtfulness in asking if I was mentally prepared to have one. The initial pain following surgery, the hospital stay, recovery time at home, inability to do things for myself, and missing work were largely on my mind, but I hadn't considered the emotional aspect. After a thorough explanation of the procedure, his cheery and kind reassurances that he was going to fix it and make me feel much better immediately earned my trust and comforted me. Post-op, I appreciate that he did not rush to prescribe hormone therapy. Dr. Ballas represents a rare combination of superb skill, honesty, kindness and thoughtfulness, and I enjoy his cheery personality.
