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.

Outstanding Doctor
Dr. Balk had taken care of issues with my right hand and wrist previously. This time it was for my left hand. A quick and easy appointment including treatment that has fixed the issue. Highly recommend.

Listens well, explains well
Both the staff and the doctor were wonderful. Everything was explained clearly and the doctor took his time to make sure that everything was understood and we had the time to ask questions. Surgery is scheduled for next week and we have total confidence that everything will go well.

Clerical staff were able to get me in within 48 hours. Once again all staff were friendly & helpful. Dr. Balk promptly examined me & presented the opinions to deal with my shoulder problem. My history with the practice is with hand issues. Highly recommend them for both hand & shoulder medical services.
