It was easy to get an appointment. Dr Balotti took me early. He discussed the results of my MRI. He gave me follow up options. He also gave me a Referral for Physical Therapy. I am looking forward to improving my health.

Meh- not personable. I felt like my appt was an inconvenience to him and I was irritating him with a few questions.
Great credentials though.

He was very rushed. Did not explain his diagnosis nor did he give me any time to ask questions. Awful experience.

not impressed. He did not physically examine my dad. Outright said I can do nothing without a CAT scan. at least he ordered that which is why he gets two stars I think we were with him for five minutes
And based on the reviews that I am reading he did a cookie cutter approach prescribing steroids for a patient he didn't even physically examine
In contrast I had an appointment at the VA the next day with rheumatology. The doctor in rheumatology actually poked, prodded, discerned where the actual pain is coming from, had the patient describ the pain as it was experienced during the examination, and sent him up for an x-ray on the spot. Re-ordered the CAT scan dr balotti ordered ( which we also got done same day.)
At least the appointment with Dr. Balotti was efficient in that he was on timeand that it took no more than five minutes prior to being sent away...

I'm providing two stars because he was punctual.
Dr. Balotti is curt, rushed, uninterested and obtuse. Asked no questions about history, no interest in pain levels, used medical terminology w/ out explaining in lay terms, would not make eye contact and seemed as though the whole experience was below his pay grade. This provider needs to be restrained in personal interaction with patients. Either that or he should switch to become a coroner, he has no business being allowed to interact with sentient beings!
