Dr Baloch is not a good person or Doctor. She have no idea what she is doing as a Doctor. Her concerns for her patients is totally unbelievable. She doesnt have a clue what she is doing. Hope the patients find help soon before it is to late. She have a good staff working with her. I plan to never see her again.

If I can give dr. baloch zero stars, I would. I have been going to her over a year and a half she first diagnosed me with Lupus and Arthritis. The meds she prescribed me was not working because the pain was getting intolerable until I was walking with a cane and almost bedridden.Every doctor appointment was less than five minutes long and follow up with office blood work( I had no health insurance, every visit was over $200 paying cash) no explaining what type of lupus or arthritis I have or any health future goals, why she give me those meds or other meds options. After my health took a turn for the worst. I talk to my family Professional Doctor and spoke with my sister who is a nurse also, just to get a second opinion. Both said I need to see another RA because What I was diagnosed with I should not be in the condition. My sister wanted to talk to dr baloch on my next visit. Dr. baloch told my sister all I need is to loss weight and my pain will go away. ( that was my last visit)She has a don’t care attitude, she is very unprofessional, she gave me the wrong medication, she will not release all my medical records to my new RA and Imagine who else she is doing this toex: Elders your grandma, grandfather, your mother, your aunt or your any of your family members !!!!!She needs to be reported!!!I will report her if no one else will#Worst dr ever!!!!!

Don’t bother hoping that this office will actually care about you or your pain. What kind of doctor goes out of town and just leaves her patients hanging?? Was told they could send her a message but she may not respond. In reference to my pain, instead of calling in a steroid pack, I was told to go to urgent care or the emergency room. I highly recommend you find some place else to go besides this place. I’m sitting here crying but the nurse couldn’t care less. And the other side, Alliance, is just as bad. They don’t really care about their patients. Took me 3 phone calls to get my bp meds called in.

I waited an entire month, got signed in, id and card scanned, in the examination room to be told THEY DO NO SEE CHILDREN. HOWW??? No one saw this when I made the appointment? Wasted so much time and my daughter NEEDED to be seen. They couldnt even refer me to someone else and get her moved up in line to be seen after WASTING OUR TIME. Office staff cant even see the birthdate was a childs!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE

Worse doctor ever. She misdiagnosed me with Lupus put me on plaqunil which rapidly started affecting my vision. I was on it for about 3-4 years now im pretty much legally blind with a host of eye problems because of that medicine. When I finally went back and she did some resting she stated I didnt have Lupus and preceeded 2 ask who diagnosed you. When I said she did she became very defensive and cold. Looking now 2 see what legal recourse I have.

I was still in pain and mostly bedridden after going to half a dozen doctors. Finally, the new doc has turned the tables around and has given me a new lease of life. Now I am able to do housework and go out for groceries without pain lingering around. I can’t thank enough Dr Faryal Baloch! Now my rheumatoid arthritic pain is at only 2 out of 10. Before my pain was 9 out of 10. So, thanks to the doctor Baloch I’m finally feeling like my old self again.

Appointment on May 18. Next appointment 2 weeks late = cancelled. The next appointment the following week = cancelled. Finally they said, tele-visit, guess what = cancelled. Plus all THREE times THE OFFICE cancelled my appointment, I received calls that I missed the appointment! It gets better...At my first appointment, they did bloodwork. Do you think I can get a copy of it... ha ha ha ha!I’ve been trying for nearly TWO months. They won’t even send it to my new doctor’s office at their request.Just save yourself the agony of dealing with this Dr and staff.

My first visit was a few months ago and meeting Dr.Baloch and her staff for the first time was very pleasurable. The office is clean and well kept. The power was out in the back office which did not stop them from seeing me. The doctor was very helpful with diagnosing my condition and getting me on the right path for a treatment plan. The front office was very helpful with giving me all the information I needed to become a new patient and was even able to get me in a little sooner than expected. Above all it was a good experience.

If they had a Star minus 5 thats what I would give this doctor. She is the rudest professional Ive ever met! My visit was several years ago and as I was looking for a new rheumatologist now I came across hey practice. I wouldnt take my dog to her. She is unprofessional, acts as if youre there seeking drugs although I explained to her that I didnt need pain medication, she kept talking as if I were asking for it. Looking at newer reviews I see that some things never change. I honestly dont even believe she wanted to be a physician seems as if shes forced to come to when everyday. Who knows, maybe her family persuaded her to become a doctor. She also genuinely seemed to not know what to give me I told her what I had been on in the past as well as what worked and what did not. When I went to get my prescription filled she had written for a medicine that I had informed her did not work for me. Please do not put your health Care into this womans hands!

She is very rude and unprofessional. I went to her for a lupus test. When my test results came back I went in and I I very sick that day. I had a fever and my blood pressure was high. When she came in the room she not one time asked how I was feeling nor did she acknowledge I had a fever and my blood pressure was high. I asked about my test results for the lupus and she couldnt give me a straight answer. All she wanted to do was talk over me and assume my diagnosis. .very bad bedside manners...Im the sick one not you..you need to listen to your patients. ..I left there with a prescription that had no relation to my lupus. This doctor needs to be taken out of practice for sure.

I just starting seeing Dr.Baloch this year... her office is always so welcoming even if you see them extremely busy. Dr. Baloch takes her time with me and really listens to the issues I may be having. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a rheumatologist.

I would probably give her a 4 if she didnt have such a cold beside manner. she listens to what I have to say, yet it is still does what she wants to end of discussion even though I know My RA well Ive had it 26 years. She talks to me sort of like a child.. I think she means well. She just needs to work on her delivery.

Review №17

She diagnosed me with pre-lupus. Did not explain what that meant or if/how it could become full blown lupus. Then prescribed me 2 medications, it took 2 phone calls for her to actually send both medications to the pharmacy. I also had to figure out what the medications were for on my own as she did not explain what they were for. Lastly, when i tried to get fmla paperwork for my job her office refused to help. It doesnt look like this office actually cares about its patients.

This doctor cares nothing about you! I went to her for help with my lupus and she did nothing but tell me to keep taking medication that wasnt doing anything! I started going to a new doctor in Lawrenceville and within 3 months he diagnosed and treated me for myasthenia gravis. She only cares about taking your money and doesnt listen or help. She shouldnt even be a doctor or allowed to treat dead animals. NEVER GO TO HER IF YOU WANT PROPER CARE!

Review №21

I agree with the other ladies on the review. Ive been going to doctor Baloch for 4 years now & my appointments are literally 3 mins long. She comes in asks me if I need refills & says see you in 3 months. I have Chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis. Shes not concerned about your well being & she doesnt mind pumping you full of pills while getting money money money from your insurance. If you want a compassionate Rheumatologist that will explain your condition to you so you can leave with understanding, DONT go to Dr. Baloch.

Review №23

If i could rate Dr. Baloch a ZERO stars i would. She was EXTREMELY rude to my mother who also suffers from Lupus and Arthritis. She literally walked out of the room while my mom was talking to her after being caught in several lies. IF YOU ARE IN THE CONYERS/COVINGTON Area DO NOT LOOK @ Dr. Baloch to help you with anything. Again, my mom was severe arthritis and the Dr didn’t even TOUCH her. All she does is ask you how you’re doing and prescribes medicine & keeps it moving. If you have serious health issues, do not even look at her to help/cure you. I’m serious!!!

Review №24

This is the worst rheumatologist in the world..she diagnosed me with lupus and basically shuffled me on my way and when i began to ask questions she had an attitude. I wish there was a way to get rid of doctors with no bedside manner. When people are in pain and hurting the last thing they need is a doctor with no compassion.

Stay clear of this doctor. She is the worst of the worst. After my wife was a patient for over a year with an Autoimunce issue she did nothing. We found another doctor that immediately started addressing her issues and this new doctor was amazed at what Dr. Baloch had not done and questioned heavily the meds she had prescribed. Dr. Balock only works parttime and is always in a hurry to get you out of the office. I think she is only interested in the insurance money and not your health. My wifes new doctor is amazing and head of Rheumatology at Premont. Has already made a huge difference in my wifes health and continues to move forward. You have been warned about Dr. Baloch

The most professional and easy going doctor I have been to the whole experience was very Pleasant the front desk was extremely helpful and polite

Review №27

Dr. Balogh is not a good doctor. She refused to give me a diagnose on my heath because shes working for social security disability. What kind of doctor knows you are sick but refuses to tell you or lead you to someone who can. Its all about the money for her. Stay away from this doctor if youre really sick and hurting. I would not recommend her to anyone. I was so disappointed. Just want to know about my pains. So I can Google or find a specialist that can help me get healthy again. If thats even possible now; To this day, I have no clue to whats wrong with me. Sad...

Review №30

By far the worst experience I have ever endured by a medical professional. She was very rude and refused to provide services since I was not interested in taking pills. She told me I could alleviate my pain if I choose to quit breastfeeding my baby (3months at the appt) and to come back when I decided to quit breastfeeding. I went back to try to see about getting an M.R.I because I have had extensive injuries. She refused and belittled me. She agreed that I was in fact wasting my time and she would not be willing to help me. I will be contacting my insurance provider in regards to her poor service.

I have been going to Dr BALOCH 4 years now, I have Lupus and it is in remission supposedly, she has only took one blood work on me and that was the very first visit, she refuses to put me on a med to continue to keep my Lupus in remission. She dont take up time with us as the patient shoot the nurse is in the room longer than she is. Trust me I have been looking.

When I was told I needed to see a rheumatologist I immediately started looking at reviews to learn more about the doctors and get an idea how their practice was ran. I hope my review will help others that were worried about the same thing and will give you some comfort.I can not say enough good things about Dr. Baloch and her staff. I was expecting to walk in and wait for hours. I was expecting to see the physician for a total of two mins and leave with questions unanswered. What I got was the complete opposite. The receptionist was sweet and helpful. She smiled and helped me with any questions I had. Definitely someone you want to be the first person your patients speak to when walking into your office! My wait time after filling out my paperwork was minimal. The nurse was my next contact and she was just as nice and warming. Her questions were not rushed and I felt comfortable speaking to her. Depending on my test results, if I need to continue to see a rheumatologist, I know the nurse will be the person I speak to the most and have interactions with in the future. I am confident she will meet and exceede all expectations in the future. This is VERY comforting. Of course the next person I saw was Dr. Baloch. My visit with her was not what I was expecting. She took TIME with me. I cant get you a timeframe of how long it was. Not too short but not too long. What I can tell you is that all my questions were answered and more. She was also very personable and her bedside manner was wonderful. This alone would make me comfortable but her staff was an added plus!! My last contact was the lab tech who drew my blood. Her manners and interactions were the exact same as the other staff. We laughed and talked while she took my blood and this was exactly what I needed.This staff is amazing! If you are looking at reviews trying to find a rheumatologist I hope this helps you. I gave them five stars because ten wasnt an option.

Im new to this area, my previous Dr is an hour away, anyone suffering from chronic pain ,knows hard it is to drive this long , i was excited to find a Dr close by,and accept my insurance, so i did everything required,fax over the papers , i left 3 messages a day to get a hold of someone, no one ever return my calls , I called again , all i want is an appointment, next appointment 2 months from now not only it took me a week to chase someone down,to be told 2 months from now,unprofessional in every way, we deserve to be treated with respect,

She diagnosed me with lupus and just gave me a prescription without explaining anything about the disease or the medication. I dont even know what type of lupus I have. Dont go here if you want to discuss symptoms or treatment options.
