I have been going to Dr Balakrishanan for quite a while now... I don't feel rushed, he asks how you are doing and really listens to you. He explains things in a easy to understand way. Together you make a plan to get your levels under control. His staff is very caring and helpful always following up on appointments and reminders they are great. Much better doctor than the doctor I used to go to --Really glad a switched to Dr. Balakrishnan.
