I’m becoming a little annoyed with the disrespect from the lady with the rhinestone glasses. She’s always talking over people and would dismiss the patients’ concerns. I needed a 3 months follow up with my doctor and because the hours offered to me are in conflict with my work schedule the lady slammed her hand on the desk telling me the doctor is not in past 2pm and he’s only here 2 days per week. I told her I have to be at work during the hours she wants me to come work she told me so is the doctor. Then I asked for anothe... read more

I have been going to Dr. Barry for over twenty years and I have never had an issue with him. He is a great doctor, and my concerns and complaints do not pertain to him. His front desk receptionists however, are incredibly rude and unprofessional They do not speak to patients with respect and ultimately deter me from wanting to come back to this office. They should be reprimanded immediately, as they are ruining the reputation of this office and making longtime patients such as myself unlikely to come back. Today, for example... read more

Dr. Balot has been my Dr for 20+ years and I have never had a problem with him. His front desk receptionist is another story. Karen is absolutely condescending when she speaks to you and she does not allow you to get a word in edge wise when you call to make an appointment. It is unfortunate but I’m sure the doctor has lost many patients because her condescending attitude. I have witnessed her belittle a patient because they forgot to pay a previous appointments co-payment as well as witnessing her speaking down to elderly p... read more

To each its own when it comes to their opinion for this office. The few times I have taken my parents the team at the desk are not very professional and uncourteous. I see the coldness with one of my parents which there is no reason for it. If it came to coldness you would think Frozen is a heat wave. They fully aware of how much control they with messages. One of my parents called and hung up on her (not the first nor the last) time. Another parent was in the hospital if i got a call back i was lucky. He is a suffice doctor... read more

I can vouch for previous complaints about the obnoxious office manager. She makes mistakes then berates and blames the patient. What an awful person.

I called the office because my mom was in the hospital and I asked Dr. Balot to see her during his rounds that day and to call me I was yelled at for ten mins. by his wife saying my mom was fine and coming home soon. She said there were people dying and my mom was not a priority, she's fine. P.S. I'm burying my mom on Monday. Thank you Mrs. Balot. How do you sleep at night?

Love the practice. Both Dr. Balots are excellent physicians. I have been seeing both of them for over 2 years now. Dr. David Balot cared for myself and my father while we were ill at good sam. His bedside manor and compassionate presence is unlike any other doctor we interacted with. He is truly a fantastic doctor!

Horrible! His wife who is the receptionist at the front desk is beyond rude and nasty. Talks to patients as if they were lower than scum. Disgusting behavior coming from a grown woman. Don't go near her without some Holy Water.

Dr. Balot is a great G.P. I hadn't had a regular doctor for years, and would go to Immediate Care as needed, but I'm glad to have found him. Having a regular doctor is much better than relying on services that don't really know you. He definitely is interested in coordinating your care for the long term. He is excellent at drawing blood, he's an excellent diagnostician, and I know he cares. I feel lucky to have found him. I've been with him for a few years now, and he's never let me down.
