Dr. Erjola Balliu, MD

Dr. Balliu is by far the best Endocrinololgist we've ever taken our two boys to and we've been to several awful ones! She is extremely professional, caring, listens carefully, and offers wise advice. She is very knowledgeable in the field of Type 1 Diabetes as we are not new to this disease and can tell a seasoned practitioner right away. We really love her and my boys feel comfortable with her care! AAA

She is so caring and works with you on your diabetes! She takes the time to listen and help if needed to change anything! She is by far THE BEST OF THE BEST doctors I’ve had and I’m so sad she left the practice!

Long wait times, does not address issues, just reschedules next appointment.

Doesn’t listen, rushes you out. Didn’t explain a thing. Not empathetic at all

Very knowledgeable of Type-1 Diabetes, and has great people skills and professional skills.

Find someone who actually cares about patients

Always wait at least 2 hours to see her even with telehealth visits. Does not actually examine me just reads test results. Very confirtational. Do not recommend her. I am seeking a new doctor.

Dr. Balliu definitely knows her field of pratice. Excellent interaction. Very thorough. Only downside was that I wasn't able to be seen until 45 minutes after the set appointment.

Dr Balliu is the best

Dr Balliu explains my blood work to me thorough and keeps me aware of what i must do to keep my A1c low. She is a fantastic Doctor and yes i would recomend my friends to her.

My experience with Dr. Balliu was terrible. She does not listen and she does not have any answers as to why PTH levels are rising and Kidney levels are lowering. She just says come back in 6 months. She does not address your labs with you. She walks in the room and says everything looks good when you know for a fact that that is not the case. Everything is not good but she's not experience enough to know what to do about it. She is not a good doctor. I would not recommend her.

Dr. Balliu has no interest in helping her patients. I have had type 1 diabetes for 18 years and I suffer from a severe Dawn Effect, and upon telling her about this she figures I need to up my Levemir dosage. She would not hear a word of my explanation why that has not solved it, was extremely rude and insulting, and constantly interrupted me as I tried to explain my situation and reasoning, including my consistently level blood sugars during fasting periods. She continues to insist her fix she spent very little time on is right and I am wrong. I then took logs of my insulin doses for 5 days at various levemir doses including her suggested high dose and augment these with my continuous glucose readings. None of the doses fixed the morning highs occurring overnight and her suggested dose cause severe lows during the day as expected. I attempted to show her the data but she instead discontinued care. She would rather ignore data and insist she is right than observe my data and help me.

Where do I began. My first visit with this Dr was about 5 minutes and she said said everything is fine with my labs, never once felt my neck for abnormal growth. Second visit she tells me she doesn't know why I am there my labs are fine,still does not check my neck. well at that point I informed her I had an ultrasound on my thyroid. She leaves the room goes and reviews my ultrasound report and comes back and tells me that they found two areas of interest. One is the size that they might consider a biopsy, but she is going to monitor it then she address my abnormal TSH and informs me it is high but she is going to do me a favor and not treat it, because if she treats it is will more than likely cause me to gain weight. So she said to follow up in a year. So in the meantime I am supposed to keep feeling like crap for another year and wonder if this nodule in my thyroid is growing. She is rude and doesn't act like she cares at all. I was in the exam room for less than 10 minutes
