He is a great doctor. He informed me very well and gave me every detail. I was really impressed by the way he treated his patients with patient unlike other doctors who rushes you. He was calm and gentle. He seemed like he really cared for his patients. In short, he was the best doctor I ever met.

Dr. Balan was extremely knowledgeable and took his time discussing treatment options, next steps, and prior results in detail. I was seen promptly upon arrival and had no wait time after completing my paperwork. They called to see if I can come in earlier which I had no problem with. The receptionist is super nice and even attempted to assist my wife in getting a personal matter settled. I felt comfortable and had a positive experience. The doctor is thorough, which I really appreciate. I definitely recommend him.
