Dr. Jhablall Balmakund, MD

Horrible experience with this doctor. Seemed to us he was unwilling to try to really help our son be become seizure free with medication. This neurologist was not interested in working diligently to eliminate or overcome my son's daily debilitating seizures, but instead perpetuated his condition. He had us convinced this was how our son would have to live his life. Years of only one check-up appointment per year, and rare dosage increases, with continued daily seizures, we finally changed Neurologists. Our son had multiple, daily, absent seizures, with occasional grandmal seizures, since he was 8. At last, my son's new Neurologist changed his medication to keppra, 500mg twice a day, VERY COMMON DOSE of this drug, as well as a commononly prescribed medication, and our son is not only seizure free, but seeking to get his driver's license, as well as his first job. He's 19. I strongly advise anyone seeing this Neurologist to find another, more competent physician.

I had a excellent experience with Dr Balmakund. He was detailed and seemed very knowledgeable. He spent considerable time with me and my wife discussing the tests, diagnosis and proposed treatment.

I waited almost and hour and a half to get into to see him. Then he told me that I needed to lose weight and told told me and my husband that I needed to put duct tape over my mouth, so I would lose weight. Very Unprofessional!
