Amy Balka is one of VERY few doctors who I have seen who trusts me when I say I'm having a problem. She asks me clarifying questions, and gets a sense of who I am instead of blindly giving me blanket statements as advice and calling it medical care. She is absolutely wonderful.

I was seen by Dr. Balka. She was very compassionate as usual. Her communication discussing my Healthcare was very caring, and asking lots of questions to help her to know what steps she wanted to take next. She was excellent on explaining things to me.
