“Dr. Balmuri is an excellent physician with a great compassionate attitude and professionalism! Highly recommended!!”
Howard W.September 26, 2025
“He answered all my questions, wasn't in a rush. Listened to what issues I had and then explained what he thought was happening. Very concerned with my concerns. In this day and time I've been concerned about being rushed and just not Listened too. But not today. He's very thorough and made sure I was relaxed to understand the answers to my questions. Would definitely recommend him to my friends or anyone seeking a great cardiologist. ”

I received so many reminders for this appointment, including one @ 5:45am the morning of and asked me to check in online. At arrival the receptionist could not find my appointment. This app has failed in so many ways. I would not use this program if I were able to choose.

Dr Balmuri is an excellent communicator, and is willing to explain in detail a person’s heart condition along with best course of treatment needed.
November 5, 2024Codeth A.Verified patient
Dr. Balmuri is an EXCELLENT physician! VERY THOROUGH! I went to Heart South due to having had a blood clot that had thrombosed on me and my doctor at that time did nothing but put me on a blood thinner. I felt like a walking time-bomb, not knowing if I still had the clot!! As a NEW PATIENT to Heart South, I had SEVERAL tests & ultra-sounds done. The tests revealed a heart valve prolapse and a birth defect involving the iliac vein that was causing all of my leg issues. I didn't know any of this. Dr. Balmuri put a stent in to open up the vein and it is amazing how much the pain in my legs have subsided. He listens to my questions, explains in simple communication so that I can understand the issues happening to my aging body. Even showing me on the computer what the tests revealed. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Balmuri to anyone!

My experience was great
September 19, 2022Felisia R.Verified patient
l have been to several doctors with my legs. They al have just basically said no cure or help with the pain. Dr Balmuri set up 4 appointments for test to be done. And explained several different things that could be done to help with my pain. This was my frist visit I learned more about whats going on with my pain than any where else. I surely belive with him and the help of God iam going get some relief.
