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.

Unprofessional, and rushed
Felt like I was being interrogated. Recommended a loop recorder installed subcutaneously 'simple easy'. More than a week of pain bruising and swelling...so far. He really should keep his politics in his home! I cannot say that enough.

Needing an ICD was quite a shock but Dr. Balaban helped me understand why I needed it and trust that the procedure would be a success. I can't recommend Dr. Balaban and his staff enough!
