On my initial visit, I must have seen and was sent to 4 different people. Services are very fragmented. I was seen late by dr balldin. No palpable physical examination of any kind was conducted, for example Range of Motion, etc. Only comments about needing SURGERY, we're mentioned, using imaging as a basis for such. A copy obtained of my initial visit indicated flawed statements by dr balldin. It's like he didn't even listen to what I was saying regarding my condition and further, other comments stated on record were grossly inaccurate. If a person that is potentially going to cut on you, can't even get the initial facts straight; I most certainly would not allow them to perform surgery on me. My experience may be unique, but I sincerely doubt it. If other patients had a positive experience, I am happy for them; but as for me, I'm done with that dr and that place. There are others...

I had a serve lumbar tear. I play golf every day and it been 18 month and no problems at all. My arm as prefect as it every been. With that said I worked in healthcare and I know how patients down right make up thing to get there way. I would not trust to two other comments on this site. Dr. Balldin has a great reputation and is professional as they come.

I had the best experience with Dr. Balldin. His bedside manner was just awesome. I highly recommend him to anyone with a sports injury. He reconstructed my ACL and I am now back playing soccer.

Dr. Balldin is a very skilled, knowledgeable surgeon and I am having a confident experience in his care. His staff is great and PA Cruz is a great asset to the team. My acl/fcl reconstruction has been smooth sailing so far, two months post surgery. I saw other drs before choosing Balldin and the difference in level of concern and thoroughness is astounding. You're in the best of hands with Balldin!

I was a workplace injury so referred/booked with him thru Texas med clinic. I had a hip Labral tear and osteoarthritis. Did X-rays and MRI. Said there was NOTHING he could do for me but a total hip replacement in a few yrs, to quit my job ( I work as a professional aerialist and acrobat), and come see him again when I can't stand the pain any longer. He reluctantly approved my request for physio after 2 attempts of asking. The only thing he would do is a cortisone shot. He was very short with me and even proceeded to walk out of the room when I was asking him a question. Terrible bedside manner and made me feel very upset perhaps because it was a workers comp injury and he wouldn't make the big bucks off me? On my 3rd visit he told me it was the end of the road and there was nothing he could do for me. Fast forward one year- my new doctor is appalled at dr Balldins choices. I am a candidate for hip resurfacing and will be proceeding with that. He expects me to be back at my job as an aerial performer .He said it's likely a year ago I could have had arthroscopic surgery on labrum and may not be in the same shape I'm in now because of Dr Balldins refusal to treat me. Why he didn't tell me about hip resurfacing, I don't know! On my last visit I even asked Dr Balldin about alternative options to a total hip replacement and he said there is nothing out there. I strongly do not recommend this doctor. Keep searching!

I went to see him with x-rays showing a stress fracture. He took more x-rays and listed the diagnosis as a sprain and ordered an MRI, even though he told me that there was a fracture. After the results came back, he changed the diagnosis to a stress fracture. He never showed the x-rays or MRI to me, even when asked. After 4 weeks in a boot, I emailed and called his office, worried about a lump forming where the break was. He waited 2 weeks to respond and said that it was normal. In the meantime, I found another doctor who took x-rays and said the stress fracture was totally broken and now displaced.
