Stephen took a lot of time explaining our treatment to us and the meds he would be prescribing. He wanted us to fully understand what was going on.

Steven Balka was friendly, approachable, attentive, and asked all the right questions. He was responsive to my inquiries and made me feel like he was actually hearing what I said and communicating positively with me. I am extremely happy and satisfied with his services.I would recommend his services to everyone that I know, in fact, I have already mentioned him bother to family and friends. My overall opinion of him is very positive.
