Dr Balk was very professional, helpful in answering every question I had and caring. She seems very knowledgeable and up to date on studies that have been done regarding women’s health.

Has SEVERE weight stigma in treating you. Dismisses you and any concerns you bring. Multiple times had to tell her what was written in my chart from previous visits (such as diagnosis and lab results). Appeared to have a predetermined diagnosis and annoyed my results did not agree with her predetermined diagnosis. Offered extreme solutions to one of my concerns. One told me to do a SEVERELY EXTREME lifestyle change that would have been dangerous to me. (she did not ask my any questions about my lifestyle) When I mentioned th... read more

Do not go here and here’s why (I audio recorded my entire visit): First visit with these people and my last, I will never go back. My experience started with a rude nurse.

I was recording the entire convo from start on my phone so I didn’t even get upset when she ignored me because I knew it was documented. Once she was done doing... read more

Horrible bedside manner during the birth of my first baby. She acted like I was wasting her time, told me as I'm screaming in pain after my FIRST push that I might have to push for 3 hours so deal with it, and also didnt realize or care the epidural didnt worth and started giving me an episiotomy without local anesthetic (and rudely told me to stop moving because she "has a very small area to worth with and I'm making it very difficult) until I screamed I CAN FEEL EVERYTHING YOURE DOING!!! In which she just silently but roug... read more

Very cold bedside manner. Did not validate my excruciating pain and suffering nor offer many, if any, solutions. Will not be seeing Dr. Balk again. It infuriates me that I waited over a month to see her, paid money and she didn't care to listen or seem interested to help me in the slightest. I felt she pushed me out the door without a proper diagnosis and now I am left to figure out what's wrong still.

She diagnosed me with a hyperthyroid after numerous emergency room visits, primary doctor visits, and two different cardiologist came up with nothing. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Balk!
