Dr. Saru Bala

"Working with Dr. Bala is expensive, but she easily and quickly cured my chronic (lifelong!) idiopathic constipation which had stumped every other doctor, physical therapist, "holistic practitioner," etc. I have ever seen. Gaining the ability to properly digest my food without medical support is something I doubted I would ever do, so since Dr. Bala was able to make this happen for me, working with her was priceless."

"I saw Dr. Bala in 2021 after being diagnosed with Endometriosis and not liking the options my OBGYN was giving me. The options I had were hormonal birth control or removal of an ovary with an endometrioma within it. I paid out of pocket because I was in a different state and it was worth every penny. She truly listened to me and what my needs were. She took into consideration my diet, sleep, mental health, stress level, and activity level. We made changes in my diet and lifestyle and added some supplements. A year after I had seen her I had a follow up ultrasound and my endometrioma had shrunk! My OBGYN was pretty shocked by that. Within six months I was pregnant with no need for medical intervention (or with even trying, oops!) I thought it would have taken me a long time to get pregnant and needing a lot of medical intervention. I am so grateful for the care I received from her, even though it was short. Can't recommend her enough!"

"Dr Saru Bala has been a great help in the last 5 months. She is always happy to help and makes me feel comfortable in our sessions. She is very knowledgeable about women's health and offers great advice that I have not received before. She helps me understand my health in a simple way and has reduced my symptoms in the short time I've seen her."

"I used to have really bad inflammation/ bloating in my stomach, irregular periods, and horrible hormonal acne. I've seen tons of Drs before Dr. Bala and none of them were able to help me at all. After I got off of birth control all of these symptoms got way way worse but after seeing Dr. Bala for only 2 months I was seeing drastic changes and they continued to get better after that. I have seriously never felt better physically and mentally in my entire life. The only reason this review is not getting 5 stars is because the group meetings for this program have very limited time slots that I could never attend. KNOWING that, Dr. Bala was always super quick to answer all of my questions that I had regarding my treatment in emails rather than in those meetings that I could not attend. I thought my symptoms were going to be stuck with me for the rest of my life as other Drs. had told me that but Dr. Bala assured me they were not normal and could most definitely be helped. I have my confidence back and feel as though my body is in its top working condition. I couldn't be happier or more thankful for this program and would recommend it to anyone who is struggling with hormone imbalances and all around body discomfort. You are not alone and it CAN get better regardless of what other people have told you :)"

"I was referred to Dr. Bala by Instinctual Birth Doula & Placenta Services LLC, and I am very grateful that I moved forward meeting with her. I had an ongoing problem postpartum that I feel my midwife and OB overlooked, which resulted in prescribing me a hormone prescription that I did not want. Dr. Bala listened to my concerns and was sympathetic to my situation at a time when I felt really alone in what I was struggling with. After creating an action plan with her, I left her office feeling extremely hopeful about turning around my quality of living. Even when there were a few hiccups in the beginning with my new supplements, she was quick to offer alternative solutions and advice through the online messaging system (where she was very responsive). Now, a month later, I am so much better off than how I was when we first met. My issue is essentially non-existent, but if it occurs again, I feel confident in the tools that Dr. Bala has given me to take control of my health moving forward. If you're looking for a ND that is knowledgeable, confident, mindful of traditional medicine when needed, and sympathetic to your needs, please consider her for your women's health needs. You will not be disappointed."
