Dr. Balek is an excellent doctor who treated me and my mom, who underwent bypass surgery. Upon finding out about her arteries being blocked he acted fast and got her the help she needed. He and his staff are very polite and helpful and I fully recommend him.

This was my FIRST meeting with Dr. Balek. I have "white coat syndrome. He did ease my mind a bit. He was very clear, informative, jovial, professional, empathetic, and polite. For today, he earned five stars. I hope this relationship remains at such a high level.
