Dr. Balija is warm, kind, smart simply outstanding. Dr. Balija explains medical issues with diagrams and language that an average person can understand. She makes sure that you get it too, not rushing to get you out the door. Dr. Balija is sensitive to your feelings spends time getting to know you as a person. In addition, Dr. Balija makes sure you get follow up visits and the tests that you need. A patient has an advocate with Dr. Balija. I feel lucky to have Dr. Balija as my doctor.
