Very thorough exam and tests. Very concerned about my problem
I saw Dr. Balch twice. That was more than enough to convince me she was not a very good doctor. Bottom line she said I had stage 3 kidney disease based on my blood results. She never ordered a urinalysis to rule out or confirm this. My new doctor did. Guess what? My urinalysis results are excellent. My kidneys are working just fine. Aside from that she is not friendly at all and very impersonal never called me by my name. I wouldn’t put my life in her hands!
If you are looking for a doctor who will refer you to a specialist or recommend tests to run, then she is fine. If you want someone who will listen to your concerns as a patient, reviews your labs ahead of time, explains diagnosis to you or acts like she cares about you in the least bit, then you are probably better off looking elsewhere.
The last 3 visits to Dr. Balch were a nightmare. I waited from 45 min to an hour before I even saw the Dr. She only spent 110-15 min with me so I don't understand why she is always behind, especially when my last appt was at 9 AM. How can you get 45 min behind schedule at that hour of the morning. The only thing she does is order tests and give you the results. She always sends you to a specialist. Never apologies for keeping you waiting and when you complain she gets very defensive and tells you that she has patients much s... read more
Dr. Balch used to be a good doctor who would take time to listen to her patients. But, between her tendency to look for any small reason to run tests at their location and the fact that she was downright short with me the last time I visited her office, I took my business elsewhere; I changed doctors AND practices! Plus, my current doctor knew what was wrong immediately! When you're trying to explain a condition to a doctor and she doesn't get what the problem is, she should try to find out instead of treating you like you'r... read more

Attentive, caring doctor. She is very knowledgeable and listens to me!!! Completely ?? satisfied patient
First visit was very disappointing! Dr Balch spent little time with me. Visit was back on Sep 11th. Tests were ordered that I never received call back on results. After MANY calls, STILL NO ONE has called me as promised. When I would call I was always told someone would call me back! Was told I needed a urine test in order to get a prescription renewed that I HAVE BEEN taking. Went into their clinic to have test done...never got a call on results and when I did call (again after MANY calls)... I was told they ordered the WRO... read more
Since retiring to Ocala I feel very blessed to have found Dr Mimi Balch. She's very kind, knowledgeable and professional. She takes the time to listen to the patient, evaluates, and give specific feedback. And as a woman, having a female primary care physician has always been important to me. She is a five-star doctor in my eyes and I would recommend her to any of my friends.
