The key element to a successful patient/physician relationship is to listen to the patient as she describes her symptoms. When I prepare a treatment plan, I take into consideration every factor as they relate to the patient – symptoms, clinical findings, patient beliefs and personality. – Isam Balat, M.D.

Dr. Balat has long been recognized as one of the top OB/GYNs in the greater Houston area. He has delivered exceptional care to his patients, their families, and their friends since he started his practice in 1976.
