I was his patient for years and Dr.Balaa saved my life, he is an excellent doctor. Everyone from his staff are great... Dr. Clare, Dr. Balaa Assistant and Natasha always made sure we had everything we needed in every visit. Amazing attention .... we always got phone calls from the office to review results with us. We couldn’t have been in better hands!!
