Anthony Ballisteri, MD

How can the business have a 5.0 review score and 12 reviews when my review is a 2? Is google reviews counting every review? I had a colonoscopy here today 4.3.26. The place is very difficult to find because it's on the huge Emory hospital complex. The incessant confirmation emails, texts and calls were too much. Leading up to the appointment, I rec'd no less than 2 emails, 2 texts and 2 phone calls (they don't leave a msg!). I confirmed numerous times but still kept getting the spam contact. The 1st problem when we did finally find suite 506 and walked in, there was no one sitting behind the check-in desk. So we checked in using the QR code and waited. While sitting there I noticed some bulbs out in the waiting area. Details count. I got tired of waiting so I yelled HELLO and someone very nearby answered. Evidently, endoscopy patients are supposed to walk through the oddly decorated blue door to yet another check in window?! There is no way in the world that a new patient would know to walk through that blue door to find a smaller check-in desk where the receptionists actually are. The nurses were great. The doctor was fine until the end. I'm all done, sitting in a wheelchair in the giant room with all the individual curtained rooms (which were all closed and occupied). Orderlies, nurses and patients are everywhere. The doctor comes out to give me my end of procedure paperwork, pictures and results. Instead of going to a private office, he's standing there in front of me, talking fairly loudly about everything (personal private things) in the wide open room where everyone can hear. I felt that was very unprofessional and maybe even a hippa violation. I didn't really need the entire room knowing the results of my procedure and possible future follow ups. Instead, bring the patient into an office, close the door, offer a water (propofol makes your mouth super dry) and privately tell the patient your findings and suggestions. EDIT: I did contact the email you mentioned and got no response. None.

Dr. Ballisteri caught something that my gynecologist had completely missed in imaging for years which I got immediate surgery for. Very happy and pain free now 😁

The best!!!

Best doctor. He will have an in depth conversation with you about what’s going on. He will make a plan and make sure you understand and agree with the plan. He also goes back to previous vists and incorporates your entire medical history into the plan going forward. He looks at you when he is talking to you and doesn’t state at a computer screen during the exam. He is kind and compassionate. And the office has a great staff and is very well run. Easy to lake an appointment.

Dr Balestreri’s office was very welcoming. The doctor was very friendly and asked several questions to become familiar with my problem. He was kind and considerate and answered all my questions and made some excellent suggestion as to how to resolve my health issues. Thank you Dr Balestreri.

My experience from my initial visit has been above and beyond. I can feel how they genuinely care about health. Well organized and prompt which is very important to me. Thank you, Dr. Ballisteri and Ms. Monica Lee for your assistance and patience with me.

Dr Balistreri came highly recommended and he lived up to the recommendation. He listened carefully, took notes, provided an explanation in terms I could understand & took time to answer all my questions. He is professional & thorough. The office staff also made my visit a nice experience. They were efficient & courteous.
