October 22, 2019
This was my first appointment with Dr. Balaan. I was impressed with his knowledge of my medical situation. He spent quite a bit of time discussing my options. I will be transferring my care to Dr. Balaan from my current UPMC pulmonologist.

Dr Balaan is an excellent listener. He takes into account my concerns
August 24, 2019
He was very thorough in his explanation but I just didn't "click" with him. I was/am scared and there wasn't much emotional support even though he did spend alot of time with me. Not discouraging but not encouraging either.
August 21, 2019
Dr. Balaan is very caring & supportive & really listens to me.
