Patient Reviews
Apr 10, 2024
Dr.Balasekaran is THE expert when it comes to Gastroenterology. What sets him apart is his patience in listening to his patients. Heard Northwest Medical has shut down their gastro practice and in the process losing this key talent and a great service provider. Will miss him as my specialist. Wishing him and his team the very best and any community that gets him is very lucky.
