The doctor treated me as a whole person, meaning she was concerned with my life in general, not just medically. She immediately apologized for being late due to an emergency. She was thoughtful about what tests I may need In the near future. She gave me a good physical exam.

Dr Baleeka was really great. The doctor really took her time talking to me and was incredibly responsive to my needs with my medical situation. The doctor went far beyond what I am used to and investigated available referrals for targeted care. She was truly thoughtful and resourceful. I appreciate her.

First time seeing Dr. Balica As my previous doctor recently retired. I really liked Dr Balica and will definitely be returning and referring others to her practice.

The doctor was very nice. She was great during our appointment. However, she never followed up on my prescription, even though she told me during the visit she would approve it as soon as we completed our Zoom meeting.
