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.

I like the doctor. The practice within the office for coverage of the doctor's responsibilities when he is unavailable (vacation, etc) is for a person to write refill prescriptions. The person that filled in for the doctor adjusted the quantity of my medication without notifying me. I only discovered this months later as my back-up supply dwindles to nothing. I thought I hadn't filled the prescription - found out I filled it - thought I lost it. I only noticed because I'm running out again

Dr Balaji has been my Dr for 20 years. My whole family goes to him and we all like him. He spends spends a lot of time and seems genuinely caring... he even went to my terminally ill aunts home when she was in hospice and in the last days of her life because she wanted his opinion on her outcome even though she was being treated by a specialist at that point
