Patient Reviews
Oct 16, 2019
Dr was referred through my primary Dr. Jupudy. My Dr has always referred me to very good specialists. This was no different. Dr. Bala explained the importance of getting my surgery done ASAP because of the seriousness of the condition. The surgery went as planned and the follow up was good as well. Office staff was very good as well. Great experience in getting this procedure done the right way.
