Verified Patient Reviews
Great bedside manner. She really took time to listen and do a thorough evaluation.
helpful, informative
Professional, friendly, staff and doctor.
Will recommend her.. she was patient enough to analyze my problem and had given the answers to all my queries.. waiting time was the only problem which I faced.
She's an incredible doctor. Took time to explain things to me and answer all of my questions. Appointment never felt rushed. Very careful, gentle, and helpful. Highly recommended!
I really wish the wait time was less as it would have made my appt not so bad but by the time I arrived and left it took a total of 2 hours with the actual time spent with the doctor only to be 30 mins.
Dr. Balaraman and entire staff were very knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. i would definitely refer family and friends.
Dr. B along with her staff were very friendly and thorough. I was a new patient and was very pleased with the service.
She is a nice doctor. Her staff are nice too.
she was very nice and professional. answered all of my questions.
Once I was back in the patient room, the visit went very quickly. Dr. Balaraman took a quick look at my problem and was able to diagnose me right away.
Wait time was a bit ridiculous, there were 4 other people in the office with the same appointment time so it was more of a waiting game instead of actually being seen at your appointment window. The doctor was in and out in less than 5 mins, her bedside manners left a bit to be desired. She talked more than she listened and wrote a bunch of prescriptions without actually identifying the problem. She was very pregnant and her nurse kept mentioning that she was due any day, I'm hoping that had something to do with her rushed manner, but still no excuse to the service I received. I wouldn't recommend her or return, unfortunately.
There was a mixup with the appointment date, but they were able to fit me in anyway. Receptionist very nice, and the assistant, Gloria, was very friendly and thorough. Dr. Balaraman seemed a little rushed, possible due to having to fit me in, but was also very nice and took the time to address every concern I had. Would definitely recommend the office.
Was great!
Excellent.
She was great! She was informative an knowledgeable. She helped my daughter get on the right track. We see here in 3 months!
Overall great experience. Staff was very nice and professional. The doctor answered all my questions and provided me with all the information I needed. Very happy and will definitely book my mech appointment with them.
Dr. Balaraman and her nurse put me at ease immediately. They explained everything they were doing and really seemed to want to make me comfortable. I am so glad I saw her!!
She has suggested some creams which creates allergic to my face and created more black marks on my face than earlier . Problem is she didnt tested the ointment that she has suggested to me before suggesting it.
Dr Balaraman was very thorough and professional. She did not rush through the exam. She answered all of my questions.
Went very well! She was nice and detailed
She and her staff are kind, knowledgeable, and efficient. She was helpful and did not make me feel rushed at all
just fine.
A great visit. All of my questions and concerns were addressed. Very friendly nurse. They also gave tons of free samples. We'll be back again.
Dr. Balaraman was very thorough and attentive. She clearly explained the treatment plan. Her office staff called right away with results and changes in treatment. Very informative with regards to medication and possible discount.
Very impressed by Dr. Balamaran, she took the time to listen to my concerns, I didn't feel like I was rushed and answered all my questions. I feel like I will trust her.
I was impressed with Dr. B and her assistant Carmen was very nice. I was in great misery with a horrible rash and my arms were oozing from the itching. She prescribed medications and I actually was 90 percent feeling better the next day. The rash was most likely caused by gardening/mold spores, and I had tried to treat myself for 8 weeks, and nothing worked. I am only on my second day of treatments and have seen significant improvement. I was glad to have a doctor that was knowledgeable in skin irritations, and not just beauty treatments. Beware of mold in Houston gardens
Kind and knowledgeable!

Thorough and detailed . Support staff was excellent.
Very good doctor i would seriously recommend her for others to see.
Good doctor
Very fast and accurate diagnosis....very smart... Accurate fast treatment given
She is an excellent doctor.
She was great. She looked at more than just my admitting complaint, she assessed everything that was wrong and we took care of it all in one day.
She's amazing!!! I wanna be friends with her. She was so genuine.
This was my first visit to Dr. Balaraman. She was professional and asked good questions. She made good recommendations on how to care for my skin in the future. And she did not allow the appointment to end without asking me what questions I had and then answering them. I will return. The only down side was that they had to move the appointment I booked on ZocDoc by a half hour, as the receptionist said the time slot I booked did not work with their lunch break schedule.
Very professional, answered all my questions. Would definitely reccommend
Dr. Balaraman was fantastic! I had met with other doctors about my specific condition, and none of them had explained the diagnosis to me or treatment procedure as thoroughly as she had. She had absolutely amazing bedside manner and ensured that all of my questions had been answered.
