Exceptional provider! This lady is kind, compassionate and listens 100% what you are saying! Dr. Balch it is clear and concise answers to all your questions. She is actually a top-notch pain doctor and all-around provider. I have no complaints about Dr. Balch, and all of the complimentary things I have to say about her would take too much space to explain here. If you can get into her practice you will never regret it!
