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 thorough and proactive
Dr B is a very busy person but she will take the time to listen to your concerns. She is genuinely a caring person who leaves no stone unturned when it comes to the care of her patients. I highly recommend her as a doctor.

Kindest Doctor I Know
Dr. B is the kindest, most caring and compassion doctor you will ever find. If you're afraid when you first see her she will help you to relax by explaining your condition. She is a really good listener. l just think the world of her. She has treated me for blood clots in my lungs and later for cancer.

Highly Recommended
While traveling my healthcare journey, I encountered Dr. Balanchivadze (Dr. B) at a very important time. I was experiencing issues and concerns that were presenting barriers to my overall health progression and well-being. During my very first visit with Dr. B, I knew she was an excellent fit for me. She is a savvy physician who is innately empathetic which makes her extremely easy to talk to. In thoroughly answering my many questions, and addressing my concerns, she demonstrates a depth of knowledge that is not only impressive, but comforting as well. From my vantage point, she goes above and beyond in pursuing avenues, and pathways that lead to optimal outcomes designed specifically for me. Since I believe that trust is one of the most valuable parts in a physician/patient relationship, I can honestly say that I am very much at ease in placing my confidence, and healthcare needs within her sphere of expertise. Dr. B is highly skilled and genuinely caring - what a combination!

Caring, compassionate and highly skilled provider
I was first seen by “Dr. B”, as she is called, last August shortly after my diagnosis of diffuse large b cell lymphoma (purposely all lower case: this disease does not define me). I was immediately impressed by her calm, thoughtful demeanor and presence, welcoming my husband and daughter as partners in my treatment. She let me know clearly what I was up against and expertly guided my treatment. I am so very glad to report it was successful, and I am now cancer free. She continues to follow up on me - through two subsequent bouts of covid, and congestive heart failure, calling and making a hospital visit to encourage me. All this since she arrived less than a year ago!

Dr. B is awesome!
Dr. B is very caring and compassionate. After years of being seen by a hematologist out of state, she decided to find the root of the problem and will treat me accordingly instead of just seeing how low my platelets are and sending me out the door. I am confident in her because I am being treated as a person and not just a “claim”.
