The best !
Providence Patient
Dr. Balki was very efficient and precise in his communication. He was upbeat and kind, but also fast and made very good use of our time. He directed the conversation but allowed me plenty of time to say what I thought was necessary. I liked his attitude of "I don't think your symptoms are within my expertise, but we'll run the relevant tests and talk about it." He wasn't a know-it-all and was precise about what he could say with certainty and what he thought may or may not be true.
