About me

Cody Ballard has practiced cardiology as a physician assistant since 2014. His focus is on treating patients with coronary artery disease (blockages in the heart arteries). His most satisfying achievements are helping patients with heart disease feel better and live their lives to the fullest. He is also interested in hospital quality improvement and preventive medicine through a wholistic approach.

When not caring for patients, he enjoys time with his beautiful and much more intelligent wife and two children. Through his two daughters he has learned the lyrics of the entire Frozen soundtrack and much of the Justin Bieber catalog. He also enjoys exercise, Northern California professional sports teams, cooking and playing the guitar.
