Probably the easiest doctor's visit I have ever had. I was speechless at how efficient the staff was and how my whole experience was. Can't recommend enough!

The nurse who took the vitals was kind and personable, not cold at all. Little to no wait from the nurse taking vitals to Dr Bal coming into the room. Dr Bal ran through some medical history and verified some answers given to the nurse. Kind “bedside” manner and didn’t seem rushed at all.
February 9, 2023Rebekah R.Verified patient
I felt the transition from intake person to doctor was seamless. Dr. Bal has a kind and genuine nature. Felt very comfortable with her.
