List of Mala Balakumar's Reviews
Dr Balakumar is professional and provided a thorough exam. I was unable to keep my follow up appointment as my insurance had changed.
I am not the patient, my wife is and is very pleased with the the care and professionalism of the doctor. She will highly recommend her to family and friends.
The office staff, polite and greated with a smile. DR. Balakumar engaging, helpful, answered a of my question to my satisfaction. I would recommend.
She has a horrible bedside manner. No compassion for her patients feels like you are bothering her when you ask questions. Not a good experience will not be going back.
The visit was excellent, seeing the doctor only took a few minutes. The doctor explained everything and I felt fully informed after the visit.
Dr balakumar is an excellent dr she is very thorough & knowledgeable & makes everything understandable! We really like her!
So knowledgeable and super kind! Takes her time educating you about condition and procedures. I feel well cared for when I see her. What else would I want from a doctor!
I went to see her when I was in a lot of pain. Word of caution: If you need someone who is gentle or patient, see someone else. It’s a stressful, exam in the first place, and I felt she offered little compassion. I’ve seen other proctologists and will definitely go somewhere else. She was the first doc back from Christmas/New Year holiday so I took the appointment. But I’m never going back.
Dr Balakkumar is professional and understanding.
She absolutely knows her stuff and she’s very easy to talk to - she doesn’t rush you or push medication.
