Patient Reviews
Jan 17, 2024
Dr. Bala is fantastic! I hadn't seen a gastroenterologist in a while. She was recommended by my general practitioner. And thank goodness. It was good timing, too. I had been long overdue for a colonoscopy. She discovered 4 polyps! All is good now, thanks to Dr. Bala. She made the entire experience great! She goes above and beyond to ensure that her patients are treated with the best care. Call her if you need a great gastroenterologist!
