We call the Doctor, Dr. Bala. He is wonderful. He listens to you and assures you when needed. My husband had a pacemaker put in and it takes awhile to adjust to. So his careful attention to my husband has helped so much. Dr. BShow moreala is such an expert in his field. The office is run well and waiting time is very minimal. I highly recommend him.

Conformation email and text for phone consultation is confusing because you are asked to confirm your appointment for such and such time at such and such address. Once you confirm your appointment you get a thank you response
