Dr. Horne and her staff are absolutely amazing. Dr. Horne has gone an extra mile trying to help relieve my ungodly back pain. I'm praying these blocks work. Dr. Horne if you read this thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Bad experience today with a Rude Nurse. I had to withdraw myself as a patient. You can’t miss her, I guest she thinks she’s MTG. Totally uncalled for. Your money will spend at other Pain Clinics.

My daughter and I use to go to Dr Ballard and we didn’t have any problems. Everyone was always nice to us. We changed because of the distance now I wish we had stayed.

Have called 5 times to try to talk to staff about possible starting a treatment for my back. They never return your calls. Told them it was getting worse. I have never had to deal with pain before and don't know what is needed for this.
I have yet to receive a call back. This has been over about 2 months. The staff never returns your calls so obviously they don't care.

Dr. HORN, is honest, authentic and kind at the same time. 2nd visit- she gave me her opinion for surgery which i did on an out patient basis. I spent years suffering, afraid of what the surgery would intell. It was completed and I'm on my way to recovery. She knew!!!

This female doctor saved me. I had been prescribed medication for pain for a bulging disc. This has been a few years back, but she was absolutely amazing. Total transparency, I had never needed pain medication before I had problems with my back. I was in my mid forties. I was running a business at the time, and had no time to take off for surgery. Until I had to!

The Doctor, she told me, “ one day you’re going to be down at the beach or out in the yard and that disc is going to rupture!” And she wasn’t wrong. I was on a boat over in Atlanta on Lake Lanier. We hit wake and I went up and bounced down.

On the way home from my legs went numb and were aching all the way to my feet. I had surgery the following Friday spinal fusion.

These people were amazing. They took care of me made sure I had medication for maintenance and breakthrough pain for three months. That is the amount of time it took to re-habilitate after having an XLIF procedure.

My surgeon was in touch with them and they adjusted my medication as needed.

I just wanted to take a moment to say in all fairness, you do your part, and they do theirs. You have to be honest and you have to take your medication as prescribed. I will say this, when I was in more pain than I realized, they adjusted, as I stated above. And when I got better, I came off that medicine.

But while I was there, they treated me with respect and dignity, and I never had one problem with anyone working there. This doctor and her staff helped me an and did an amazing job.

That was in 2018. I’m not sure how things work now since the law has changed so much. But having not taken a pain pill since 2018, I can say while I was there, they made my life so much better. People and chronic pain deserve their pain medication when they are hurting.

Not everyone is looking for a daily high. But sadly, I hear these days US-wide, the good must suffer with the bad. And that the DEA have changed the laws and not in favor of chronic pain patients.

Despite it all, These people were an absolute saving grace for me. Thank you.

I have found Dr Horne Ballard to be very professional and she has helped me tremendously with my hip and back pain. The office ladies are very nice and professional I will give them a 5 star rating. I would recommend them to anyone.

Was told appointment was at 1. Had to wait for over a month in pain from a wound and be transported by ambulance to be told over the phone the appointment was at 12
Office staff says they left message about time of appointment but they didn't. Called 4 times to see who would sign for ambulance and no one answered the phone or messages that was left for the office.
Was told should be greatful the office was willing to reschedule while going through the hospital to get to their office
