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 is the best. I had stage 4 colon cancer and because of him I am still here 15 years later.

Bad experience
I tried many (10+) times to schedule an appointment that I was referred and needed immediate attention for. I kept getting the run around by different staff members. They were very apathetic - it was quite baffling. I’ve never experienced anything like it.
