She is comforting
-
Had her own an agenda. She did not listen to anything . she just wanted her own agenda. I will never go back to her on any level. She is the worst doctor I’ve ever seen in my life and if I have to leave this after, I may have to find another group because I’m not sure if this is ever gonna work again I will never go back to that woman at all and I’m still in massive pain
-
I consider her a very thorough doctor.
-
She listens but needs to slow down when speaking talks to fast
-
I'm happy with Dr. Balan. She seems to listen to me. She's thorough, kind and caring.
-
She's very caring and helpful, obviously has excellent medical knowledge, and she is overworked.
-
Because she is compassionate, thorough, and patient
-
She is very busy so it was hard to get an appointment. She also wanted to refer me to other doctors for medication refills so that costs more copays.
-
She is very nice and explains things thoroughly. She takes time with me and really listens to my concerns.
-
As far as her personally, she’s not helpful. I need someone who is going to balance the information. I’m getting between the specialist and tell me which answer or plan I should follow. She says her role is just to make sure that I get my wellness checks she is extremely unprofessional. She calls me “my friend“. She uses baby talk for bodily parts and functions. For example she says “PP“ instead of urine and poo poo instead of excrement. I’m a grown woman. I don’t need someone to talk to me, baby talk her office response is nonexistent if you email if those unanswered. If you try and call, it can take almost an hour to get through and then they can’t help you. They lost one of my surgical Follow Up Appointment appointments and refused to reschedule it. They called and canceled my annual physical and transferred me a date four months in the future they try and get the nurse practitioner involved to help but she’s not helpful either. I love nurse practitioners, but this one’s not effective any more detail would violate my personal privacy and I don’t want to do that in this form.

As female, I prefer female doctors.

I feel like you are rushed. The doctors only spend specific amount of time with you. I feel that Optum dictates how long they are with you, what they discuss and treatment options.you are not even able to bring up other options.
-
Dr. Balan has been very understanding and concerned about my physical and mental health.
-
Very caring and thorough.
