    My first visit with Dr Bala was one of the more pleasant first visits of had with a Dr. He listened to my concerns and addressed them as I asked them. I hope he doesn't retire or relocate, before I do.

    Katie, a third-year student was present. She was very knowledgeable and very caring. She will make a great doctor. Dr. Bala should be congratulated for his training skills in helping medical students.

    I do not like the way he made me feel as a concerned parent trying to get to the bottom of my 18 year old son's illness. I think everyone forgets who is paying for these visits. I truly wish Dr's did not dismiss parents when they accompany their kids. I was just trying to get to the bottom of his Illness and make sure the Dr knew all of the symptoms he was having!!

    I meant to ask about other med questions, but exam was focused on test results
  • Jun, 9 2025
    I feel that I wasn't getting the answer that I needed for my care. My health is very important to me and I also think it should be as well to the doctor that I im seeing as well and I don't feel comfortable with the doctor. When they have no clue about my health or even have any records of it either. I should be treated equally just like any other patients too.
