Hands down Dr. Ballinger is the BEST Vet. i have ever taken my animals to. He truly cares and isn't in business to to take every last penny out of your wallet. As long as i live in this area he will always have my business as well as the care of my family members (dogs)! He was even able to successfully same my Jack Russell who had eaten a rock and blocked his intestine with it. Great Job Dr. Ballinger keep up the top notch care.
