Eric Balaguer's Online Review Report Card

Awesome doctor

He’s very incompetent doctor a person who has no empathy with his patients in truth I don't even know where or who gave him the title he performs bad practices.Incompetent in his practice and lacking professional ethics, he does not I recommend him check his reviews are more bad than good.

Excellent Hospital and office staff. Surgery went well and healing well however very painful. "Poor pain management and contact response". I'm sure every patient is different but I've had acute pain and it was almost impossible to get a call back. It's been 3 weeks and still the pain level is 6 to 7.

Waited nearly 2hrs to be seen. The staff doesn’t speak much English. They were openly insulting an English speaking patient in Spanish, for the waiting room to hear. They were very rude to patients. After finally going in, the doctor unprofessionally spoke ill of his professional colleagues in the field, referred to a comment my OT made as stupid, and used profanity repeatedly. The only positive things he said were related to using workers comp, because he could do more with it. I’m going to find another opinion. I can’t imagine having to work with this group if I don’t have to.

I waited to see Dr. Balaguer for 2 hours, the x-ray technician took an incomplete X-ray so after I explained what was going on to the nurse practitioner, they retook the X-ray. The nurse practitioner was very kind and communicated well. Dr. Balaguer walked in the room, barely addressed me, the patient. Squeezed my finger, asked if it hurt and said” there’s still time to pin it.” Then proceeded to walk out of the room. I went for a second opinion because the Dr. Never even evaluated my range of motion in my finger. Completely different experience with a well known hand surgeon in the miami area. He evaluated my finger, examined the x ray and discussed treatment options with a clear, concise treatment plan. So glad I went for a second opinion and found a competent, humble hand surgeon!!

El Dr Eric Balaguer y el Dr.Evilio Prendes con su grupo realizaron EXITOSAMENTE la cirugia en el codo de Ana Morales el dia 21 de Diciembre del 2022. Todo se realizo con una alta y excelente profesionalidad, demostrando su destreza y conocimientos en este tipo de cirugias. Por estos resultados, recomendamos altamente al Dr.Eric Balaguer y su grupo.

Took x-rays without the lead sheid over your chest even when I ask for it. The person who took the x-ray told me they had to operate on my hand. Ask if I could meet Dr Balaguer .No can do.My gut feeling was to go to another Dr.I did the right choice. My hand did not need surgery.So glad I went to another Dr

Fuí en November 18 del 2021 por un dolor cercano Al codo , El cual fue diagnosticado como Tennis elbow. Me colocaron una inyección dolorosísima, ( cabe destacar que mientras El Doctor me inyectaba me Dijo: si te digo como es El procedimiento, no te lo dejas hacer ) y es verdad. Si hubiese sabido como era, no me lo hago, por 2 razones: una, porque ademas de doloroso, fue traumàtico, y la segunda y mas importante: Nadie me advirtió Los efectos secundarios de la inyección, Los cuales ahora sufro. La cortisona penetró tan profundamente, que me eliminó Los melanositos, Tengo hipersensibildad y ahora Tengo que ir donde otro especialista para ver si puedo recuperar la apariencia de mi codo, porq hasta El hueso se vé Casi expuesto, se decoloró la piel alrededor y està demasiado sensible Al tacto. El desconocer hace que paguemos El precio, y que caro Cuesta a veces!

Mal profesionalismo del staff espero q estos review los pueda ver el dr. O alguien en la oficina que si le interese la reputación del médico ya que lastimosamente el inside te que me paso con la persona q me atendió hoy no fue grata y por muy bueno que sea el médico no vale la pena q yo como paciente tenga que soportar el mal trato del staff. Explicó. Hice mi cita semanas antes y mi hora de cita era a las 3 de la tarde ya que primero tengo que recoger mi hijo del colegio. Llamo cordialmente con motivo en notificar a la oficina que estaré unos minutos tarde cosa de 5 a 10 minutos y me dicen q mi cita la perdí por q me la reprogramaron a las 2/15 cosa q es absurdo. Ya q nunca hago cita a esa hora con motivo q mi hijo está primero en recoger en la escuela. Debería de aver un departamento o agencia q se encargue en castigar a las oficinas q no les importa el tiempo del paciente.

I came to this Dr for my one time Second Opinion switch because I was not happy with my other Dr. From the moment I met Dr. Balaguer he was very easy to understand and I quickly learn about my diagnosis and what needed to happen. My surgery went amazing and my recovery even better. I dont even have a scar. Above all- No pain!
