What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Dr Balawender is great. She is very knowledgeable & takes time to address all concerns. The only negative is she only sees patients one day per week. However, other staff members can handle concerns if she is not available.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
It is difficult to get on Dr. B’s schedule initially. It was SO worth it, though! I had been struggling with severe neck pain that did not respond to home stretching exercises. Her in-office treatment plus home exercises have done wonders for me.

Was there anything that you feel was outstanding?
Dr. Balawender has a wholistic methodology in practicing medicine. She focuses on the mental, as well as the physical well being of her patients. In my opinion, of all my positive experiences with my personal physicians, who have helped me to achieve my well-being, She has no peers.
What could have been done to improve your experience?
Although not her domain, the outmoded restroom facilities at My Michigan office of Dr. Balawender's are deplorable. The restrooms ALL need to be "hands free." This neglect accentuates the possibility of transmitting handborne disease, rather than minimizing it.
