I think Dr. Balki is a terrific rheumatologist and a very caring person. He is great at explaining what is going on with our bodies, taking the time to make sure we fully understand. Not all doctors do that any longer!
Providence Patient
Dr Balki was thorough, patient and kind. He listened to me and he seems like a very good doctor. The only issue I had with this office was being tested for gonorrhea and clamidia without being asked. These could not have been causing my symptoms , and since I haven't been sexually active since my last test, there's no way I could have them. That said, I would come back to Dr Balki if I ever needed a rheumatologist.
