Galina Balon's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Balon has been the primary care physician for myself and my husband for the past 25 years. I can't imagine using anyone else. She has always been very thorough and caring. We always felt like we were in the best of care. I feel like we are both healthier and stronger than we have ever been thanks to Dr. Balon.

I've been seeing Doctor Balon for 12+ years. She is remarkable in terms of thoroughness, knowledge and genuine care for her patients.

Doctor Balon is the most caring and thorough doctor. Always sends me to the proper specialist to get to the heart of the matter!

From my personal experience Dr Balon is an arrogant physician with minimal emotional intelligence.I would replace her, but couldn't find and Internal Doctors at the Mountain View facility that take new patients

Galina Balon - my family doctor many years. Galina is very professional doctor for my family (for my husband, my sun and for me). She is nice diagnostic, very polite person. Galina is deciding all problems with my healthy. Thanks a lot, doctor Balon! You are the best doctor in me life!

This doctor is completely disorganized. She can hardly use a computer and she never releases test results on time. Because of often mistakes in diagnoses her medical skills are very questionable. Dr. Balon has at least two long vacations per year, so her patents have to wait for months to visit her even when they need immediate medical attention. Dr. Balon’s staff is rude, unqualified and speak poor English. They called you on the phone with an update from the doctor and don’t listen to you. They are absolutely useless and make you upset. I am sorry to say this: Dr. Balon it’s time to retire!

A echo the previous reviews. Very rude. Interrupts. Ordered a hundred tests and did not bother checking results while ordering tests sent me to specialists. Did not listen. When I called to follow up was not even there. Had another person who did not know my case or what she was doing answer my question. This other doctor bad mouthed her to me. Come on people? Are you not all working together? Disorganized, rude and absent. Very costly and just bad.

Dr. Balon should not be allowed to practice or have a patient panel. She is never there, refers everything out and is not available for follow up. Her latest trend it to tell patients to find outher doctors. She gives you names inside PAMF and outside and does not care about your concerns or records. I think it is time to retire Dr. Balon. Treating sick people like this lacks integrity.

Dr. Balon was our family doctor for many years. She was great and caring. Last year she fired me and my wife. She did not say why and Sutter did not tell us why we were fired.She told us to go see another Russian doctor not at Sutter which we thought was very strange. Does she not want her group to keep patients? My wife and I were very depressed and even had to talk to a psychiatrist about how we were treated. I had not done anything to Dr. Balon and we loved her like she was our own. My other doctors at Mountain View Sutter clinic told me she did not fire me and that nothing like that was true. I made another appointment with Dr. Balon and she was very rude: "What are you doing here?" She then told me she will see me that one time and to get another doctor, told me to pretty much to get out of her office. I opened this account for our Russian community to know what is happening with Dr. Balon. She used to take care of many of my friends and another couple had a similar experience they were fired. They are planning to file a former complaint with Sutter. We are very sad and depressed all our wonderful specialists are in Mountain View and we are old people who need special care and our doctor of 10 years feels it is ok to fire us with no explanation and send outside of our care system. Be wear if you are old you better off with anyone at PAMF but her. We have really good insurance too Mediare with supplemental. The only reason this happened is because we are old...

Dr. Balon is the most thorough doctor I have ever had. I feel so fortunate to have her as my primary physician. I never feel rushed and am grateful for the specific recommendations she makes to keep up my health.
