Dr. Balaban is respected, thorough, an excellent listener, and empathetic. I always leave there feeling heard and understood.

Very knowledgeable, kind and holistic approach.
Dr. Balaban really listened to my concerns, he thoroughly reviewed paperwork I brought, and was very personable. He formulated a plan and immediately made the referrals. I feel very fortunate to have him for a doctor.
Dr. Balaban is compassionate, thorough, knowledgeable and patient.
Excellent, 90 minute, hands on exam.
