Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Balch was everything you could ask for in a surgeon. He always made time for a thorough explanation and for any questions I had. I would say that immediately before and after my appendectomy was the best time spent at the hospital, mostly because of the immediately apparent proficiency of the surgeon and the O.R. team. Aside from addressing my condition and a successful surgery, the site of the three incisions are hardly noticeable. I applaud Dr. Balch's attention to detail when closing the

After waking up with a colostomy bag due to an emergency surgery from a ruptured colon, Dr. Balch gave me hope that It was likely temporary. He was right. Six months later he performed a perfect reversal surgery and I am grateful to be returned to health, without a bag! Every step of the way, from the first night in the ER, to the second surgery and thereafter, he informed me of what happened, what is happening, and what to expect in the future. He is rightly confident and skilled. Awesome!
