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 was referred through my primary Dr. Jupudy. My Dr has always referred me to very good specialists. This was no different. Dr. Bala explained the importance of getting my surgery done ASAP because of the seriousness of the condition. The surgery went as planned and the follow up was good as well. Office staff was very good as well. Great experience in getting this procedure done the right way.

Dr. Bala is OUTSTANDING on every level. Very knowledgeable, extremely skilled, and experienced. He is very patient, calm, and confident....qualities that put me at ease when choosing a surgeon. On a personal level, he is everything you would want your doctor to be. He listens carefully, explains thoroughly, is respectful, and just a genuinely nice person. I am 10 days post-op from a hiatal hernia repair & Nissen Fundoplication surgery, and already feel amazing. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.
