"Made an appointment to see the doctor on 7/27/23. Couple of weeks before was informed that she is not available that day. Changed appointment to 09/21/23. On 8/31 was informed that she, again, not available for an appointment. The next closest date is in January 2024. She may be a good doctor, but no thank you."

"The day was east. I had a procedure done with Dr. B and she and the staff were so awesome. I had my husband see her too for his colonoscopy! "

"She was thorough, efficient, down-to-earth, and was nice about my first colonoscopy prep “needing improvement”. The team takes great care of you too!"

"I had a video visit . We identified my condition & a course of action. I was supposed to let her know if the condition did not resolve & she was supposed to prescribe antibiotics. Instead, when I messaged her that I was still in pain, she didn't arrange another visit, she didn't ask questions, she didn't prescribe antibiotics she essentially abandoned me saying I should seek medical attention and get some kind of test like an ultrasound, catscan etc. She didn't tell me where to seek this attention (isn't she the specialist?). She didn't specify what test. She essentially threw me to the wolves. I guess I was supposed to figure out what test & where I should find this medical attention I am just a patient not a doctor. The condition is normally treated by a gastroenterologist which she is. She should have at least referred me to someone specific & specified what type of test if she didn't want to treat me. I've never experienced this type of irresponsible disregard for my health"

"I was tricked into thinking that Dr. Balzora’s office accepted my insurance, only to be delivered a $500 bill long after my visit with her. She was very impolite during our meeting and didn’t even acknowledge me when she first entered the room. Dr. Balzora offered little to no intervention or advice for my treatment and I am now a student with some unforgiving medical debts. Thanks for making me fearful of doctors. "
