"Dr.Balk and his staff were very friendly and accommodating. A nurse took me back for x-rays right on my appointment time, but after the x-rays I did wait about 20 minutes to see the doctor. I had a late in the day appointment so I wasn’t too surprised that he was backed up a little. Once I saw the doctor he was very thorough and explained my options in easy to understand language. I was very happy with my experience. "
