Patient Reviews
Jun 19, 2024
Dr Balder is amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable and very caring making me feel comfortable the entire visit. Great bedside manner. He did an incredible job on my face and neck with the PDO threads! Mid face and neck lift. I had very minimal swelling if any at all and the same with bruising, hardly none. I usually bruise and swell even getting fillers. I was very impressed! Funny thing is, he was just as excited as I was! I can tell he loves what he does and is a perfectionist! He also spun my own blood and made plasma filler and injected it into the tops of my hands which I didn’t even know was a thing and my hands instantly looked 10 years younger! He does it all and offers the healthiest options. I did not feel like he was just out to just make money at all like other doctors I’ve been to who try to push you to do more. His prices are great as well! I will be back and recommend to others! Thanks Dr B!
