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.

I was his patient for years and Dr.Balaa saved my life, he is an excellent doctor. Everyone from his staff are great... Dr. Clare, Dr. Balaa Assistant and Natasha always made sure we had everything we needed in every visit. Amazing attention .... we always got phone calls from the office to review results with us. We couldn’t have been in better hands!!

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Balaa?
Stay far away from Dr. Balaa. His staff is rude and incompetent -- They never call back, never respond to voicemails, and even failed to send any preparation instructions before my colonoscopy date. The doctor has a huge ego -- very patronizing and a kind of "God Complex" who can do no wrong. If something does go wrong, he blames the patient. Find a different GI doctor!!
