Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Bala is Awesome!
I just read the horribly mean and vicious posting made by Erica Juliano. I was not present for her interaction, of course.However, I will say Dr. Bala (as she suggests people refer to her as) is the opposite of what is described. She is a wam person. And so very kind in her bedside manner. And, importantly, she is extremely competent. For example, during my wife's first visit, Dr. Bala reviewed her meds that had accumulated over several years. She immediacy spotted meds that conflicted and, after examination, identified meds that would better deal with my wife's health challenges. Within days of the new regime, my wife felt better and was more to her vibrant self. My wife and I were concerned when Dr. Thomas retired. Dr. Bala has reassured us repeatedly that we are in equally good hands.BlessingsFordDrive On!

Always a good day when we see Dr. Balasubramanian!
Dr. Balasubramanian always personable, while also being very thorough during all office visits. Always employs equally personable and welcoming intake people to greet patients and obtain preliminary info before actual doctor visit.

Couldn't Give Me the Time of Day
I saw Dr. Bala for my annual physical in March and she could have cared less. I am a healthy person, but it doesn't mean that I don't have questions or concerns about my well being. I was asking her questions and she started walking out the door. Terrible bedside manner and honestly...just rude. I had bloodwork done and never received my results because the nurse would not give me results without scheduling an appointment. Every other doctor I had been to, has called me personally or put my results in the online portal. Dr. Bala and CFP Physicians group seem to only prioritize care for the elderly (which I of course support) but there are other people that require doctors attention as well. If you are young and looking for a new doctor, this is not the right choice.

Well ran clinic. In and out in less than a hour with the lab right onsite. Dr. Bala is a warm and caring physician who listens. Her staff are always helpful and friendly. Best clinic in the central Florida area.

This provider made a critical mistake that increased my health issues. I had explained my prior health condition, and still she made me stop some medication. Also She ordered wrong location of my leg for the x-ray and the radiology lab was not ready to change. they took wrong x ray and obviously didnt find anything wrong. Dr lacks thorough monitoring. I would not recommend this physician. We switched providers right away. This CFP location is alway eager to do referral. they have network of other Doctors on their list. You will have to pay for getting the lab order to do the labwork somewhere else other than their lab. Worst experience.

Dr. Balasubramanian, also known as Dr. Bala, has been my physician for over 15 years. She is very thorough and kind and it is easy to get an appointment within a week or two. Also, her office has a Lab with is most convenient. I would recommend Dr. Bala to any family.

This provider made a critical mistake that caused my father an unnecessary hospitalization. I feel the lack of monitoring and follow up was inexcusable since I had thoroughly explained his prior health condition to her. I would not recommend this physician. We switched providers right away, and that process also took many repeat attempts to get records sent from the office staff.
