Ballarin, Paula A. MD, FACOG 5401 Peach Street, Erie, PA 16509

"My son is dead because of her. She kept me hemorrhaging in a bed of my own blood for 9 hours “to see if I would dilate” while I was going in and out of consciousness from all of the blood I lost."

"Dr. Ballarin has delivered all of my children per my decision. She is attentive, aware, straightforward, honest and respectful. I appreciate everything she's done for me. I recommend her 100%. Note: As of Fall 2019, she does not deliver anymore. Millcreek Community Hospital (affiliated hospital of LECOM, where she works) closed down labor and delivery. No doctors that work at LECOM deliver at all anymore because of this."

"Dr Gunduz (as I know her) has delivered 3 out of 4 of my children. The forth was born in Puerto Rico by the way. Very straight forward and examines everything from a to z. She cares about her patients and the babies the mother carries. And her dictation instead of typing so everything is accurate and there is nothing missed. I highly recommend her 100%"

"Waterford office- VERY abrupt. Asks questions and then interrupts, cannot even be bothered to let you finish your sentence. Staff is very dismissive, too busy regaling each other of weekend activities and not terribly concerned about privacy. She makes you sit in her office while she dictates her notes instead of typing them which was a little awkward... Would not recommend and will not be back although she's the only doctor in my network for miles. I will travel next time."
