Patient Reviews
Jul 25, 2021
I highly recommend Dr. Bales for knee issues. Dr. Bales listened carefully to my concerns, was very knowledgeable and explained my options thoroughly. He performed bilateral knee aspiration and injection extremely proficiently and gently, and I felt absolutely no pain. I will definitely return to see him for my future needs.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
