Patient Reviews
Mar 13, 2020
I met with Dr. Balash once and the very next day he worked his schedule around to be sure my surgery was done the next day. When I told him “I know you’re making this work as favor to my OBGYN, He said no, I’m doing this because I care about your well being.” I suffered with this is so long and could not get any other doctor to listen to me concerning what I was feeling but in one visit Dr. Balash, listened, and went into action. Thank you sooo much Dr. Balash. Patricia Roberts
