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.

Good Doctor with a terrible staff
Dr. Balaescu is very nice and has a very kind demeanor. However, her office staff is insufferable. They are impolite, are not thorough with their duties to the point where I've had to call the insurance company and confirm eligibility to certain facilities, which is really what the staff should do beforehand. Everywhere else I've been to is on top of referrals, just not this place.

Been going to Balescu as my PCP for 6 years. Compassionate and knowledgeable about women’s health, takes her time with patients, good bedside manner. Wait time is an issue at times but she is an excellent doctor.

Dr. Balaescu is Kind, knowledgeable and will listen to your concerns. HOWEVER the front desk girls/women have absolutely no interest in assisting you. They answer the phones attitudes and are quick to rush you off. I love Dr. Balaescu and Monica but they really need to hire some new admins for their practice.

The people behind the desk who answer the phones are dismissive and rude. You can tell they hate their job and couldn't care less about the patients. Dr. Balaescu is a sweet lady however the way I was treated most recently was unacceptable.Very briefly, I needed a refill for meds (that they've been refilling up until last month) before traveling however after 4 days of following up with them they decided I needed to come in to get the refill. The issue is they got back to me late and there were
