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.

This is the worst Dr ever He took it upon himself to stop treating my mother in law and take her of the heart monitor because he said she didn't need it anymore even though my mother in law was retaining water and was being treated for a UTI and after asking my brother in law if he still wanted to continue with the antibiotic treatment to which my brother in law answered him YES I DO WANT TO CONTINUE WITH THE ANTIBIOTICS THIS WAS on May 21 in the afternoon. Today May 22 at 1249pm my mother in law passed away!

The rating is actually a 0 but I do not have that option. He is rude, unprofessional and insensitive. He said bed sores and obesity were life threatening conditions and now with a blood clot in a lung we should accept hospice care for my mom. I would NOT recommend this doctor to anyone. Oh, and he complained about having to wear a mask as he spoke in public. I reminded him he wasn’t the only one required to wear a mask in public.

His bed side manners are horrible and does not help. Sends patients home so he can Rest In Peace so he said. He gives you no hope but to put patients 6feet under. He is just not a happy person and needs more sleep

My mom went to the E.R. at St Francis Medical Center today. Dr. Balasundaram. Does not have a good bedside manner. My mom has had trouble breathing for a while, and she just recently had a operation on her artery. Dr. Balas decided to give her a lot of medicine and it knocked her out and then he decided to send her home. His response to my dad and my sister was and I quote "she's going to die anyway." I spoke to him later in the day when I arrived at the E.R. and he was not helpful at all.
