She was phenomenal, she answered all of my questions. Gave me a few options and listen to my concerns. Sometimes I ramble a little but she hung in there with me until I was able to finish my thought.I really appreciated her patience

I have not been to my doctor in several years. Put off taking care of my parents ailments. Dr. Balka agreed to keep me on as her patient. Very thankful. I have not been to see her since 2021 when I had Covid and shortly after that for an arthritic leg.

My experience was great!! Dr. Balka always shows sincere concern for my healthcare and I have so much trust in her. I would not want to go anywhere else. Been coming to Dr Balka for about fourteen years and she is just amazing. When I get the opportunity to tell people about Riverside, I do.
