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.

Not terribly impressive. Seems competent, but nothing to write home about. However, his group has the absolute worst front office people I have ever encountered. The chief culprit is the office manager, who happens to be the senior partner's wife (talk about job security). I have never seen a more rude, obnoxious, uncaring individual in all of my 65 years of dealing with professional offices. Not only is she incredibly rude to patients, she is even worse with patients' spouses. GO ELSEWHERE

I visited several doctors before I found Dr. Balog. He is personable, very forthcoming with necessary information before you ever need to ask a question. He is a very competent physician and I would recommend him to anyone who needs a really good doctor for arrhythmia.

He is easy to talk to, extremely professional and just a GREAT doctor. He was recommended to us and we would recommend him to everybody. Gives a thorough examination and discusses everything with you on a level that you would understand. He answers ALL you questions with great knowledge and you just don't feel rushed. He has extreme patience and, even answered all the questions by my wife. Not many doctors do that.
