This provider, Dr. Bala, is one of the best doctors I've ever had. She's excellent. [redacted]

Dr. Bala is fantastic! She's a very good listener with an intensity of meeting care where it's most needed. She's clearly confident and knowledgeable. She's great ?? ??

I don't know what I would do if Dr. Balasubramaniam were no longer my doctor. She is exceptional. Her advice & guidance is outstanding. I credit her, in large part, for keeping me healthy for several years as I age. She is the BEST!

There were some prior appointments where I didn't feel heard, but that wasn't the case this time at all. My provider is a caring and an extremely good doctor, but also all of the providers are extremely busy, especially those who are senior in the practice. I understand how difficult it has been since the pandemic. I am very grateful for the concern and care she gives me and for having access to the MGH/Brighams network of hospitals.

Always very helpful!

She was efficient, friendly and professional. She explained the problem I had and how to fix it. Very helpful. I will use this knowledge in the future.

Dr.Balasubramaniam from my very first visit has always listened very carefully to my list of concerns and the questions that I had. I never felt rushed at any visit and all of my concerns and questions were addressed. Dr.Balasubramaniam has a great bedside manner and is very knowledgeable and intelligent. I was basically a mess when I first saw her and she has been able to get to the bottom of my medical issues and the severe pain I was in with such empathy and compassion. She has been very helpful to me in so many ways in my life, I hope I am able to continue my care with her for the the remainder of my life. [redacted]
