Dr Baloh took the time to explain my symptoms (why they were occurring), my MRI results, answered all of my questions, he was very patient and listended. After my appointment, I looked him up. He has numerous years of experience as well as numerous research studies. He is VERY educated and I am extremely satisfied with the care I received from him. I am SO happy that he knew exactly what was going on with me!

I went to see him to assess the possibility of Vestibular dysfunction secondary to Diabetes 2. He refused to do the recommended tilt table testing and was brusque and seemed to be biased against a careful workup. I do not trust his diagnosis and will seek a second opinion. He failed to chart my visit in spite of my request for a chart note. He seemed to be in a bad mood and was not helpful.

I had appointment with Dr. Baloh, He doesnt care about patients. He jumps to conclusions with out properly assesing patients symptoms and concerns. He should not be teaching residents. He asked me about my family history. My answer was abruptly stopped mid sentence with How can you be sure? Maybe they havent told you. Im sure it is there. He then advised me that I had some mutated gene that was causing my health concerns without having any pathology, or any DNA genetic makeup tests performed. This mutated gene caused an issue that has no cure! Why on earth would someone say that to someone on their first appointment with out the proper testing ??? This is why I wouldnt recommend him to my worst enemy.You would think with Visiting UCLA, your treatment would be better managed. I was sent home, after 20 minutes with the belief that if I lost weight, my brand new incurable genetic neurological dissorder would be better. For 3 days I was absolutely terrified. My life as I knew it was over!I have since seen another physician, and he said that Dr Balohs prognosis was a dumping ground, That I should never have gotten that lack of treatment. I now have gotten better care, beside manner, and proper testing!I really feel uneasy about the residents that get stuck shadowing him, and learning from him. It is such a waste of their education.
