Dr Balabanov is a passionate, educated doctor with exceptional bedside manner. He is also always very detailed with information, cares about getting to the bottom of it, and explains in a way that I can absorb. Appointments are never rushed, and yet, he is always on time for appointments. Dr B is also able to answer all my questions thoroughly and easy to understand. 10 years as my neurologist, and I’m lucky to have him on my team. A+

Dr. Balabanov is a highly skilled and intelligent neurologist. Without him, I have no doubt that my MS would have continued to deteriorate at rapid speed.

Dr. Balabanov by far and away exceeded my expectations and care that I had previously received at the University of Chicago Neurology department. He had the right amount of medical knowledge and soft skills.
