Horrible staff. Was supposed to see him for emergency surgery for a broken shoulder. His staff wouldn’t make me an appointment until a week later. Dr. Cascio treated me immediately.

He knew about the stitch but left it in and said, let me know if it bothers you, well after 18 months it's now infected and I risk losing my total knee replacement, he left deerfield beach and no dr would touch his patients when he left abruptly and I thought he cared

Dr. Balazsy is absolutely brilliant in his field. I was in a horrible motorcycle accident and came to him in literal "pieces". He preformed a total of six surgeries on me and put back together the jigsaw puzzle that I was in. I would recommend him to anyone. I truly wish he was still in Michigan, where I live. I miss him and cannot find another doctor to replace him.

We are so thankful to have been guided to Dr. Balazsy. Our brother was in a terrible accident and had a scattered pelvis and because of Dr. Balazsy and his unbelievable talents and knowledge he was able to put our brother back together. He is now walking with little help of his cane or crutch.
