Dr. Ballard met her husband, Bryen, in her first year of veterinary school (he was a third year at school) and they got married in her home state soon after her graduation. They have one dog, Bolt, an English Setter and a Domestic Shorthair cat named Pica de Gato. In her spare time, she enjoys horseback riding, hiking and traveling to new places! She entered the profession due to her love for the human-animal bond and for the variety of differences that each case brings. You never know what will come through the clinic door on any given day. Dr. Ballard is so excited to be a part of the team and meet all the furry members of your family!
