About Dr. Ballard

Dr. Ballard joined the team at Fox Valley Surgical Specialists in 2001. He’s proud to be part of a staff that provides the entire spectrum of up-to-date surgical treatment options for patients with vascular disease. Dr. Ballard’s medical philosophy is clear: “I believe the patient, the family and their physician should all be active participants in treatment decisions as we’re in this together.”

After graduating from Michigan State University, Dr. Ballard completed his residency at Temple University School of Medicine in Philadelphia. He completed separate fellowships in vascular surgery at Louisiana State University in New Orleans and trauma/critical care at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.

Additionally, he has led numerous presentations including “Damage Control in Vascular Trauma: A New Use for Intravascular Shunts,” at the Western Trauma Association’s 28th Annual Meeting in Alberta, Canada.
Dr. Ballard has written several research articles featured in medical publications such as The American Surgeon, and The Journal of Trauma and The Annals of Surgery.
