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.

Dr. Balkin is nothing short of amazing! She puts the "care" back in Healthcare.

I have been seeing Dr Sharyl Balkin for many years. She is really the best at her job for me! She is super friendly! We meet for about a half hour and she can get me thinking about what we could do to make my life better. She is very intelligent and also has what I call “Street Smarts”. It’s common sense, that comes naturally to her, which always makes me improve how I think about my problems. I would suggest anyone wanting to talk out your problems, to call Dr. Balkin. She is a good listener and talks with you when the time is right to help guide you through your issues. I always leave her office with a better outlook on life! No one but you can solve your problems. However, having Dr. Balkin to listen and help you through many of your issues will make a difference and make you realize you are not alone and you can get through whatever you are unhappy about. Thank you!

I was feeling bad about a situation between myself and my sister. After talking with Dr. Balking, I was smiling for the rest of the day. She made me feel good, and I could easily relate with her. Talking with friends about this sort of situation leaves one wondering how they now perceive you. She was very upfront. I like her!!! Nancy Cochran

Honest and caring Dr
I've been going to her for years. She listened and she is always honest. She takes time out of her day to help if I have an medication question or just need help. I honestly know she cares as a person not just as a Doctor. She aways wants and wanted me to feel better and that always made me feel good.
