Pablo Balboa's Online Review Report Card

Such a caring Doctor! I was surprised by how much time he spent with my Dad & he was very thorough. Just a very kind Doctor & the office staff was wonderful as well.

My visit was terrible. I have used him for years, but I will not anymore. Dr Balboa doesn’t listen to his patients complaints. He gave me sulfa drugs that caused StevensJohnsons Syndrome. A very rare condition. I was in 4 ER’s and transported by ambulance to Vanderbilt Hospital where they have a burn unit. Dr Balboa doesn’t care about his patients. He just rushed me out the door twice. I’m sure he does all his patients that way. I am suffering the long term effects of StevensJohnsons Syndrome and I wish I had NEVER used him because he almost killed me being careless with antibiotics and not listening to patience. He seems more concerned with pushing his vegan lifestyle on his patients.

Long wait time

Great care

Good doctor been seeing him for years dont want to tell our age. .lol

I sat in the examination room for an hour before he rushed in. It was a new patient visit, which set my expectation that he would pay attention to me to learn about my health history. Not a single question was asked about that. He barely did a cursory check of my thyroid and listened to my heart and breathing. When I asked for advice on a health issue I have, his response was for me to go on a dairy free diet, which to him meant no butter, no cheese, no eggs, no mayonnaise. I waited for him to clarify why a dairy free diet required me to forgo non-dairy items (eggs and mayo are not dairy products), but none was given. He asked me why I took a medication, and when I told him, he gave me a condescending smile and asked when I'd had the problem I claimed to have. Then, as I was ushered out the door after a ten minute visit, I heard him talking about the vacation he could now leave for. I got the distinct impression that my health was secondary to his vacation. I am in the market for a new doctor. I'd rather fall over dead than return to someone so lackadaisical about his patients.

I went in for an issue with pain and numbness in my arm. He prescribed me an anti-inflamitory and sent me on my way. I waited over an hour and a half for this. He must have been in there less than three minutes. It turned out I had a bone-spur in my neck that was affecting the feeling in my arm. I had to go to a different doctor to figure this out. What a waste of time.
