How likely are you to recommend Dr. Balamane?
Dr Balamane is a no nonsense kind of doctor, which I prefer. He gives you answers in medical terms and if you do not understand, no worries, he will explain it all to you in detail then patiently wait for your questions. He is energetic and so maybe some would interpret as trying to rush you out, but all nonsense…he simply is efficient, doesn’t waste time, which makes for short waiting times to see him. Speak up, ask questions, he’ll accommodate you. He’s very knowledgeable. Another aspect of his practice that I appreciate is that he’s conservative when deciding whether medications are necessary. He doesn’t prescribe unnecessary medications or lab tests, as I’ve experienced with other docs. Lastly, he’s friendly yet professional. He plays off your personality. My 80 yr old mom, who had the onset of dementia, saw Dr Balamane. He adjusted his demeanor slightly, slowed down and addressed me with her test results but did it in a way that did not insult her. He’s now my primary doc!
