I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Balaji as my Cardiologist. He is compassionate but realistic, brilliant, answers my questions fully, wants my feedback before making new recommendations and gives me positive feedback about following a healthy life-style. I hear colleagues talking about their doctors not respecting older patients. I feel Dr. Balaji is the opposite, He shows respect and proposes treatments that are everything I could ask for.

Dr Balaji knew every detail of my history & current condition. He listened closely to my report on the good effects of the Rx changes he made at my last visut; he heard my new concerns and contacted the other Inova specialists I see to reach consensus about changing my medication mix. Within a few minutes, he prescribed a simplification that delights me. Even in the strong Inova team of specialists Dr Balaji is a superstar.
