I have known Dr. Ball for over 20 years. We met while serving in the Navy together where he helped teach Navy Dermatology and Pathology residents. I have always been impressed with his professionalism. I was very happy to continue our relationship after retiring from the Navy. His dermatopathology service provides very timely service with diagnoses you don’t have to second-guess. I can’t say enough good things about his services and would encourage practices wanting the best dermatopathology interpretations, in a timely manner, to use his services.

“From your observation, you suggested the possibility of progressive macular hypermelanosis. Based on the clinical presentation and ruling out other possibilities, it was a logical fit… She had been to other physicians without an answer and was very distraught. I thank you for the interpretation, because it was not a diagnosis that was even on my radar… and now she is on her way to resolution. She was literally in tears at her follow up – thanks to you!”
— Jocelyn LaRocque, DO, Charlotte, NC

“I highly recommend Ball Dermpath. For 29 years, I’ve worked with different labs, most of which had shortcomings with either their pathologists or their front office. Ball Dermpath has great pathologists and a high-performing operation. The pathologists are academics who care about making the right diagnosis for the patient behind the slide. A courier picks up my specimens, and the turnaround time is quick. Their lab swiftly coordinated with my EMR system. Their process has been reliable and flexible in meeting our needs.”
— Elisa Roberts, MD, Asheville, NC

“I reviewed our discussion with her and recommendations. I’m happy to report that she is, in her words, 95% better!!! She was in tears!… I can’t thank you enough for listening and being so instrumental in my pleas for help for her. And the BEST gift of all is that we helped our patient!”
— Annemarie Dixe, FNP, Syracuse, NY (consult case)

“Ball Dermpath has provided an amazing service to our practice. Prompt, courteous and thoughtful reports are only part of the picture. When difficult cases arise, they utilize the expertise of their entire dermatopathology team and readily offer insight, guidance, and clinical references to help my clinical decision-making process. This is the best dermatopathologist group I have ever worked with in my 16 years of practice.”
— Holly Martin, PA, Raleigh, NC

“Our office has found the folks at Ball Dermpath to be extremely competent, approachable, and dedicated to helping our practice. Their group has, uniquely, become an extension of our team in caring for our patients.”

“I just wanted to write a little note thanking you and Ball Dermpath for our service this year. We started with Ball Dermpath earlier this year, and we have been very pleased with all facets of our relationship. We appreciate your setting up a printer in our lab so that you can fax us our path reports quickly. Normally, we have these, as well as a digital copy, in our inbox within 2-3 days of submitting the specimen. Your customer service has been excellent, and we have no trouble keeping the supplies we need for processing our biopsies. And lastly, your reports integrate effortlessly into our medical records software, EMA. Thanks again for being a part of our team. We look forward to continuing to work together into 2017!”
— Kerry Shafran, MD, Charlotte, NC

“We made the decision to switch path labs over a year ago. I picked Ball Dermpath because I felt their attention to detail and accuracy of pathology reporting was what I was looking for. I feel the personal attention and ease of contacting Dr. Ball and his staff are essential, and they have followed through with my expectations. I have been pleased with how efficient the switch of the interface with our EMR has been. Even though this process has challenges, Jason and the IT dept made this process easy on our end and helped us every step of the way. Pathology result reporting and specimen pickups are going well and all the providers are happy with this process. We look forward to working with Ball Dermpath in this coming year.”
