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.

Very thoughtful, gets right to the point, and willing to spend as much time as possible with patients.

I was in the hospital for a bad infection in my knee. Dr. Balsamo had to do 2 surgeries to clean out the area and made me feel at ease telling me what was happening every step. He has also been great with my follow ups since my surgery.

I met Dr Balsamo back in Aug 2017 when I suffered a trimollear fracture. He determined I had to have surgery, and comforted me when I began to cry. I have to say he is the most kind hearted and caring doctor/surgeon I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. My needs were always put first, he comforted me with my tears over the next few months and every single visit he was there and didn’t send a PA. My surgery was flawless and incision barely there. I highly recommend and have utmost respect
