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 Steven Balint
I love my Doctor, he is always on time, patient and never rushes your appointment. He always explains everything about your health in great detail. Always makes recommendations to help you understand the importance of staying healthy. His office staff is the best, most polite, and helpful, and, visits extremely pleasant

5-STAR physician
When my PCP retired, I wanted to stay in the same office setting where Dr. Balint also practices. I had not met him and I had to wait to be set up with an appointment (as I was told he wasn't taking new patients). When I was able to see Dr. B, I was so thankful, as he is great - very thorough, knowledgable, interested, kind and has a winning personality. I've seen Dr. B twice and hopefully, he will continue to be my PCP for a long while.

Great doctor and staff
I've never been to a doctor's office like this one! Everyone makes you feel comfortable and at home--the friendliest staff ever! I was ushered in only about 5 minutes after I arrived, and after sitting in the exam room for only three minutes or so, Dr. Balint himself came in to say, 'Sorry to keep you waiting! I haven't forgotten about you and will be back in a minute.' How many times has this happened to you??? Never, I am guessing. Dr. Balint is very thorough yet very respectful. I felt like he took all the time needed, and did not feel rushed. I feel like he understood me and it was fun to talk with him. I normally only go to female doctors (I'm female, late 60s) but Dr. Balint is an exception, a true 'mensch', a rare gem, who is full of good advice and insight.

I am very happy with this doctor and this practice. Dr. Balint is very caring and knowledgeable. He also listens to the patient and has an open mind when it comes to interventions to achieve the patient's goals. The office staff is friendly and efficient and a pleasure to work with. Every member of my household, two of whom are special needs, are now patients of this practice. I feel that we are all in good hands.

Steve is a caring practioner who is conservative in his approach to medicine. He takes enough time with you and I never feel rushed. His use of EMR is minimal and does not interfer with doctor-patient interaction. He is a down to earth guy.

Dr. Balint has been my primary healthcare provider for over 15 years. He's the best. He listens intently and does not blow off your concerns. Does not seem to "double book" appointments as I never feel rushed nor have I ever waited more then 10 minutes past my appointed time.
