Excellent professional. He explained and answered all of the questions the parents had. He was very attentive to the child. He knew what he was talking about, he knew his trade, and he was very attentive and respectful to our family.
My daughter was having a really hard time and the doctor came in right away to talk about my sons echo results. He was very friendly and we appreciate the fact that he saw us so quickly.
Yes, the doctor was very amazing. The staff was very friendly and smiley. They gave accurate information. I loved the way that they answered my questions very professionally and in a way that was understandable. And we would highly recommend them to anyone. And we thank you and have a good day.
It was our first time meeting together. He was above and beyond sincere and helpful--he also is very knowledgeable and gave us all the information relevant to our care to help us understand the full scope of the situation.
Good
Very personable
Overall, we have had a fantastic experience with the Pediatric Cardiology department. All of the doctors have been caring, compassionate and helpful in their explanations.
Dr. Balaguru was outstanding. He spoke directly to my child and made her feel comfortable. He answered nuanced medical questions from a physician parent and explained clearly to a non-physician parent. He was kind, thorough, and I give him my highest recommendation!
We were very impressed with the facilities. It was very calming and well-designed for children. The nurses were all great with our son.
