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.

He diagnosed some serious problems
I have only met with Dr. Balaji once so far, but I believe the visit saved my life. He put a stethoscope to my chest and then scheduled me for tests that soon led to open heart surgery. The medical team prioritized my surgery to fix an aneurysm in the aortic root and replace a valve that wasn't closing properly. I am feeling healthy again, and extremely fortunate.

I have been in Dr. Balaji's care since Feb 2014. He is absolutely superb! I see several special specialists, but he is the one I trust implicitly. I have seen other cardiologists and Inova and Johns Hopkins, but he's clearly the best and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

5 minutes appointment that he ran away from, and no follow up about pretty acute issue. Then put something in the online record for patient to see, 4 medical staff ( not him) called to inform of test results being normal. When told that symptoms persist and got worse while waiting for follow up, staff insisted that tests were normal. No accountability, responsibility or character. This doctor apparently is not even worried about the liability of it all and malpractice, continues on.
