Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Balcueva is the best! very thorough!
He was my Oncologist from 1988-2007, then I retired and moved to Tennessee. He is the reason I am still here. I wish he was still my Oncologist!!

Dr Balcueva treated my brother, who was in stage 4 metastatic bone cancer. He was excellent in being honest and direct when he gave information and the next step in the treatment plan. He was also friendly and showed personal concern for my brother and what he was going through. He also was patient when my brother had an outburst of frustration and anger in his office once when his condition had progressed. Dr. Balcueva was very knowledgeable in his field. I would gladly recommend him to others.
