Southwest Florida Pain Center - Venice

"Dr Morgan Callahan received a poor review. She is not associated with our practice. Dr Callahan is associated with a completely different organizations"

"After dealing with terrible back and leg pain for 10 + years, I thought I would just have to live with it forever...but Dr. Ball healed me and I'm so thankful. After a couple rounds of epidural shots, it was still lingering. He recommended the m.i.l.d. procedure and it changed my life. I'M FINALLY PAIN FREE COMPLETELY! Also everybody who I came in contact with, in both offices, were so kind and helpful. I always felt taken care of. I can't say enough about this practice. Thank you Dr. Ball. I'm forever grateful to have my active life back. R. Mcgreevy"

"Less than one star. Dr Ball is so paralyzed with fear of ANY legal actions he cannot treat patients confidently. ‘Office policies’ are so rigid in this paranoia that personnel can not offer appointment outside of preset schedules for fear of his wrath. I could not request a pain reliever on same day as a procedure. When procedure was unsuccessful after 3 days I called for a refill of medication only to be told I had to make an appointment -available in 8 days! Caught bronchitis evening before that long-awaited appointment and when my husband called early morning he was told “he was not authorized to cancel for me” because a RENEWED HIPPA was not on file. Cancellation penalty charge in place. One thing after another and none of it to patient care. RUN"

"After 40 years of chronic pain and endless epidurals my husband was referred to Dr. Robert Ball and found out he was a good candidate for the INTRACEPT procedure. This has been extraordinary !! The office staff is very courteous and knowledgeable and Dr. Ball answered all our questions and addressed our concerns. A week after this ambulatory surgery I am happy to report that 90% of his back pain has been eliminated and more improvement to come over the course of the next three months. Thank you Dr. Ball and staff for excellent care."
