This doctor doesn’t even examine you, the nurse does that. The doctor just tells you what test to take and then gives you the results. She will not elaborate or advice on what steps to take next. Several years ago when she told me I had osteopenia all she told me to do was to continue taking my calcium supplements. Because of this I was diagnosed with osteoporosis on my second bone density test, she could have advised me to do more.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Balaescu for many years she is a great doctor . She is always available when I need an appointment. Very friendly especially her staff. I recommend her to all my friends and family. Through the years ive had problems with my cholesterol but thanks to Dr. Balaescu she was able to prescribe the right medications and now im stable. I appreciate the way that she takes her time to explain any test results to me. Recetly I had really bad back pain and she gave me an injection that took my pain away.

was not able to diagnose my gallbladder problem on time. I had to end up in emergency room and then to surgery. Now I have a huge cut in my stomach.

She's a very nice person and responds well to your own requests + concerns (eg - if you suggest you try a medication that you researched -- she is open to this idea.) However, she probably could be more thorough and knowledgeable.
