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.

Pleasant and Professional
My office visit was pleasant I was treated with with professionalism and courtesy and Dr. Balu made me feel at home and I would recommend this office to anyone who has pain management or spine problems or needs therapy. Don’t believe the 1 star reviews. Everyone was nice to me from moment I came into the door

I have been with Dr. Balu for the last 15 years and my experience is excellent with him. He is personable and takes the time to tell you exactly what is going on and does not treat you like a chart.

I have been a patient with Dr.Balu for almost 15 years, I find him very compassionate about his patients and tries to give you different avenues for your health approach and how to manage your pain. Although Iam now living overseas but I still continue to come to his office for my follow ups.

Dr. Balu is very caring and understanding of his clientele. He listens to what you have to say. He doesn't put you on a prescription and forget about you. He tries different avenues to help you with your pain. He will sit and explain what different treatments are and the results that he is hoping you will get from them.
