Dr. Bruce Ball didn’t start out
to be a doctor but, luckily for his patients,
he took a postgraduate anatomy class and
worked in an emergency room, where he
discovered that he “was fascinated by multiple areas of
medicine.”
Together with his colleagues, he sees patients of all ages
at Charleston Allergy &
Asthma, treating a variety
of conditions from seasonal allergies to asthma to immune
deficiencies. He enjoys the challenges brought by each
patient, which spur him to keep up with the most up-to-
date information.
“Each day I’m thankful to see patients who have put
their trust in us to provide the best health care we are
capable of giving,” Dr. Ball said. “However, if I didn’t have
great staff who treat the patients with respect and kindness
and who also enjoy their jobs, it is unlikely this award (Best
of Mount Pleasant) would have come in my direction.”
Charleston Allergy and Asthma currently has three
offices, with six board-certified allergists who are
committed to excellence in patient care. Each one listens
carefully to devise treatment plans that help pediatric and
adult patients breathe easily and enjoy life to the fullest.
Although Dr. Ball does not suffer from allergies himself,
he finds that many people “put up with bothersome
allergy disease” that could be better controlled with
an appropriate treatment plan designed by an allergy
specialist.
“The most rewarding part is seeing my patients improve
their quality of life,” Dr. Ball said. “It is a privilege to work
with infants, families and all age groups as we work to
build treatment plans that yield positive results.”
