A condescending little person with dead shark eyes. Gives bad advice. Have you noticed she cannot hold down a job and moves across the country. Hmmmmm something to this that is not right.

Six years ago my mom was diagnosed with espogheal cancer had two massive strokes and was in very bad shape . We were told by several doctors to consider taking my mum home with hospice . Every test that was performed came back with another issue and more dissapoment. Doctor balbastro came in right as everything was at its worse . That was six years ago and my mom is still alive by Gods grace and doctor balbasto . Step by step she addressed the treatment and plan of care and seen it through every step . There are not enough words to describe the gratitude me and family can express to her and staff for the care that my mom received. Thank you for being the doctor that said yes there's hope . forever in your gratitude
