Peter A. Balousek's Online Review Report Card

In October of 2014 Dr. Balousek removed a tumor from my brain. Though it ended up being a tedious 12 hour surgery he was able to remove it all. I know I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for his excellent work and care. Nearly every day I put a thank you to him and the staff he had that day out into the universe.

Had a shunt insertion procedure that went perfectly. Dr. Balousek and the staff at Valley provided me with a stellar experience.

Dr. Balousek rebuilt 2 levels in my neck at the very beginning of his career. He started with my back earlier by assisting Dr. Yanumara at NW Hospital in1999. My neck was destroyed in 1974 from a disastrous fly/fall from a highbar that broke as I preformed a mens gymnastic giant technique. I landed on my head after sailing about 39ft as estimated by witnesses. My desire to work out on any highbar was dramatically hampered by the incident. Dr. Balousek did wonders on my neck in the early 2000's some 30 years after "dying." I still sport a very painful neck at 61 yrs old, nearly 5 decades later. However, I have been very active since the incident at age 17.I continue to be world class. I hope the subsequent white lesions on my brain from the brain trauma are able to be eradicated by the awesome work of Dr. Balousek.

Saved my life. Once you get to know him, you will respect him more and more.

Do you not use this doctor went in for a consultation and felt like he did not even know what he was talking about now I have to go and have a second opinion

Don't use this guy if you have another option

If the nurses come out crying after surgery and tell you that you should find a new doctor then you should take their advise.

In 2010 I went to the emergency Room at Valley General, with the worst headache on earth. I I was hoping for some real good drugs and then back to work. But fortunately for me Dr. Balousek was on call and saw me. He asked me to allow a cat-scan and MRI, and immediately recognized that I head a brain aneurism that had hemoraged. If it had continued I probably would have had a stroke or had died. Dr. Balousek moved quickly to get everything set up to fix my problem, and afterwards, I have been in excellent health. Thank you Dr. Balousek...you saved my life.

Dr. Balousek is actually an exceptional doctor, and is extremely brilliant in the art of fixing aneurysm's.He took the time to explain to me and my mother the procedure that was done as well as showed us where her very complicated aneurysm was. My mother is still doing quite weel.The only thing I believe Dr. Balousek need to improve is his attitude as well as his bedside manner. It is a very scarey time in a persons life when facing the words ANEURYSM!!!! so if he does read this this would be the only thind that I would say his his short fall. Other than that he is an extremely brilliant doctor. I would say you are in good hands with this doctor.

My wife had a stroke and Dr. Balousek performed the Procedure to remove the clot . He was very sympethic and described what was going to be done . He also described what could happen . After the surgery he came out and explained how it went .My Wife is doing well.
