Patient Reviews
Oct 30, 2020
Dr Bale is WONDERFUL! He is so knowledgeable and a great listener! He has been my doctor since I moved here almost 8 years ago. I’m from Reno Nevada, and my experience there was to be rushed in and out by the doctors....really not even feeling like you had a chance to explain issues, or inconveniencing them to bring up a extra topic of concern. Dr. Bale has NEVER made me feel this way, and has always heard me out. He is my husband’s doctor as well, and he feels the same way.....we just love him! I highly recommend him! -Mrs. Nelson
