Fast friendly and very kind and considerate . Took all the time we needed to explain the procedure and what to expect afterward. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing a good doctor.

He takes time to explain your diagnosis gives you options, gave painless knee injections, called me personally to check how I was doing following scope surgery, instead of someone on his staff. Ultimately had to have knee replacement surgery - very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Dr. Bales and his staff who were professional and courteous at both his Brazil and Brownsburg offices.

I felt rushed he didn't want to listen to my concerns just wanted me to hear his opinion and get me out of there.
