I could have been recommended for a SCAN, XRAY for my Facial Pain, instead of going somewhere else. It may have been a communication problem on my part.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Balter and his nursing staff, Ramona. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt genuinely seen and cared for-not just as a patient, but as a whole person. He is incredibly kind, attentive, and thorough. It's clear that he takes the time to truly review patient histories, as he came into our appointment well-informed and ready to address not only my medical concerns, but also the financial barriers related to medication copays and even my overall mental well-being.Dr. Balter's warmth and professionalism immediately put me at ease, and he created a space where I felt heard, respected, and supported. I am so grateful to have found such a compassionate and comprehensive care provider. He and his team have earned my complete trust, and I feel confident knowing that my long-term health is in excellent hands.

Dr Balter is the best doctor. He is patient, very knowledgeable, compassionate and an expert at communicating directions for care and quality of life. I am very fortunate to have him as my doctor for a very rare bacteria I acquired. He is also comforting as a physician and listens to all questions and answers all my questions and concerns.

Dr. Balter is the most awesome doctor I've met in a long time and I do have 3 other doctors at Emory who are excellent.Dr Balter was such a warm caring person when he came in the room to greet me. I was totally at ease and he was focused on my fall down the escalator and looked at my right leg. He was very thorough in his questions and directions on how to bandage my leg and his directions were easy to understand and do at home so I would understand. He put me at ease and looked at some of my other bruises. What a great , kind, doctor you have at Emory. Very knowledgeable .
