Dr. Balsera is fantastic! From the day one she has been very transparent, knowledgeable, professional and compassionate. I’m thankful to have her as my nephrologist and would absolutely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for quality care!

Sheâ??s in charge and you feel calmer. If you want to understand why Dr. Balsera is different, start there. Thereâ??s a commercial for Cancer Treatment Centers of America where all of a patientâ??s docs are sitting around a conference table discussing their case. If youâ??re dealing with serious health issues, this would be a dream come true. My husband has 10 docs. For the most part, they donâ??t talk to each other. Dr. Balsera is a one-woman conference table. She puts it all together for you.

Brilliant Doctor with a kind, knowledgeable spirit. She makes a scary situation never seem hopeless. Her treatment is spot on with almost instant results. I absolutely love her! I have never had such trust in a Doctor.

Dr Balsera is very analytical, which was exactly what we needed to get my wife's blood pressure under control. We had tried to find a solution for months, and Dr Balsera got us where we needed to be in a few weeks. She clearly explained the objective, how she intended to get there, and then did it. Outstanding.
