Patient Reviews
Nov 18, 2024
I recently was referred to Dr Balija as there was something going on with my breast. It required surgery, which I was terrified of to say the least. She was, kind, patient, understanding and put me at ease while simultaneously being very thorough. She answered my many, many questions thoughtfully and professionally. Her staff is also outstanding, particularly Justine, who put me at ease and helped communicate several times during my procedure. It’s not a situation anyone wants but at least rest assured you’re in great hands with Dr. Balija.
