Hello! I’m Arden Ballard, MS, PA-C, ATC.

I’m an experienced NCCPA-certified Physician Assistant with over 14 years of expertise in Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Urgent Care, Occupational Medicine, and Medical Aesthetics. My broad range of clinical experience enables me to provide comprehensive, quality medical care for my patients.

I have completed my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Philadelphia University and graduated with honors from Southeastern Louisiana University with a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. I am also certified by the American Academy of Procedural Medicine as an expert in medical aesthetics. I’ve always been committed to continuous learning and striving for excellence in every environment, and that determination has been the cornerstone of my career.

From working as a solo provider in Urgent Care settings to being the Lead Physician Assistant in high-volume sports medicine clinics, I’ve had the privilege of serving patients in various capacities. My commitment to providing the best possible care led me to write my book, “The Homemade MD,” which will be released in 2024.

I’m passionate about education and have served as a guest lecturer and clinical instructor at Southeastern Louisiana University and Jesuit High School, as well as numerous conferences and seminars. I’ve also been a preceptor for athletic training and physician assistant students, guiding the next generation of healthcare professionals.
When I’m not in the clinic, you can find me exploring the great outdoors, spending time with my wife and three kids, or getting coffee.
