"Very caring team. Sometimes long office waits, yeh, but it's because they're giving compassionate quality cary. I feel reassured having my pregnancy closely watched here after a previous loss. Grateful for Dr. Balaskas and the ladies here!"

"***updating my previous review as I've completed care with this practice.*** I would encourage you not to work with this office. From their Dr. not listening to their patients, to their nurses having attitudes, and old school billing (no online, all paper). It was a horrible experience. There are alot more details to this entire story but all in all I would NEVER recommend this practice to anyone as they don't listen to you as a patient. --------- I was referred to this office by my primary OBGYN and I wish I didn't. I attended my 2nd apt with them and the previous reviews speak for themselves. The biggest issue was the amount of time spent waiting around in this office to be seen. Plus, for a working parent with kids their hours of operation for apts are not ideal. You are either having to take personal time from work in order to be seen because apt run too long or you schedule an apt at the end of the day, missing family dinner. As for care, I do not have anything bad to say about them as they've treated me with respect."

"This place genuinely cares for you and your baby. Our tech was truly amazing, and cared for me from the beginning, and Doctor B was so down to earth. Explained everything so clearly as well. If you, or your baby are high risk you are in great hands! As for them being lengthy it is because they care for you so much"

"First appointment we waited over an hour to be seen! We were the very first appointment after lunch and still had to wait an hour to be seen. Second appointment they called to reschedule for a later time on the same day. We waited almost an hour to be seen at the second appointment as well after being told at the first appointment it would not be no where near as the long as the first appointment. We arrived early to the appointment and still had to wait in the waiting room to be seen almost an hour past our scheduled appointment. Patients who arrived after us were seen before us. They schedule you for an appointment time but don’t plan on that actually being your appointment time. Very unprofessional that you are not even made aware that they are running behind and you will have to wait for an extensive amount of time before you will be seen. I highly recommend finding somewhere else to be seen."

"At our first appointment we waited an hour to be seen. Our second appointment we waited 40 minutes after our ultrasound to talk with the doctor and then at our last ultrasound I waiting 30 minutes before going to the front desk asking to be checked out. The ultrasound tech we had was rude about decisions that weren’t hers. Never could get good images. The doctor was rude when we said we felt comfortable moving forward with no more ultrasounds and he was upset about that."
