Been going to Dr.B. for years. You wait for hours in the waiting room then he gives you 2 minutes. I feel he has dropped the gun two many times.

I saw Dr. Ballesteros about 20-30 years ago. He picked up that I had vasculitis and proceeded to put me on a steroid. My brother-in-law was working in the pharmaceutical industry at the time and was surprised Dr. Balesteros caught it so quickly.

I found this Dr. To be an exceptional listener and advisor. This Dr. has been "on the money" with his diagnosis of MY health conditions and even may have been instrumental in saving my life a time or two. Definitely worth your visit.

My wife Wendy & I have used doctor Ballesteros for almost 20 yrs and he is superb. We have had many doctors thru the years & none can match his professionalism, patience & bedside manner. He is outstanding at diagnosing a problem and then correcting it. He takes his time and you will never ever feel rushed with Dr Ballesteros. Best doctor we have ever had.

Dr. B is the most caring Dr you will ever find and his mind works BETTER than a computer in calculating illnesses both mental and physical..the only quirck i guess is when you are scheduled to see him, call his office and have them call you when he is ready or you will be waiting quite awhile...but when you get in he focuses on you and not the clock...i would wait for him all day if necessary that is how GREAT he is!
