Plaza OB/GYN offers Houston women revolutionary bio-identical HRT for menopause symptoms.

As women approach menopause and perimenopause, they may experience unwanted side effects, including fatigue, memory lapse, hot flashes, low libido, and insomnia. Bio-Identical Hormone replacement therapy is considered a safer alternative to synthetic hormones and has been shown to treat menopause related symptoms.

Bio-Identical Hormones are most effective when administered as pellets. This allows for individualized dosing and delivers a steady stream of hormones into the patient’s system. The pellet implants are most commonly compounded using biologically identical hormones Estradiol and Testosterone. Pellet insertion is a relatively simple in-office procedure done under local anesthesia. The pellets are inserted under the fatty lining of the skin, either in the lower abdomen or the upper buttocks through a very small incision. The incision is easily closed with surgical glue or sterile-tape strips. Implants placed under the skin consistently release small, physiologic doses of hormones, which have been shown to have significant benefits.

Pellet Implants typically last between 3-5 months, depending on how rapidly the hormones are metabolized. After insertion of the pellets, vigorous physical activity should be avoided for a few days, or as suggested by the Plaza OB/GYN staff.

One Houston patient said, “I began to feel symptom relief within 48 hours.”

For others, it may take up to two weeks to notice a marked difference. The pellets never need to be removed as they are completely dissolved by the body.

Generally, there are minimal side effects linked to pellet implant procedures. Complications can include minor bleeding, bruising, infection, and pellet extrusion. Other than minor bruising, other complications are extremely rare. Hormone side effects do vary and will be discussed with our expert physicians. Bio-Identical Hormone replacement therapy allows each patient to improve their quality of life with an effective, minimally evasive procedure.

So far so good 😊.I choose this place based on the reviews of Dr. Balat (the father). So many people had good things to say about him. That he was kind, patient and listen to the concerns of the pregnant mamas. When I called to confirm I learned he was out of practice but, his son was continuing. So I’ve giving his son Dr. Michael Balat a try. As a result, I have to say I’m happy. He listens to me as well and makes sure to wait and see if I got all my questions out gives me suggestion to help prevent problems that I experienced in my last pregnancy. I came out feeling confident and happy each time. I look forward to this journey with Dr. Balat.Also staff is so sweet to me and very friendly.

Myself and both of my daughters have been coming here for years. What a great staff and great doctors! The Responsiveness when you call is always great as well as they always listen to all of the concerns of the patient house.

I love this office. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Isam Balat for 10 years. He delivered 3 of my children. We had minor issues prior to getting pregnant that he surgically dealt with. Fixed me “too good” I like to say because I had 3 kids in 5 years. He’s always helped me to stay on top of my endo and he’s thorough with an excellent bedside manner. Fully and completely recommend this office.

10 outta 10, highly recommend!! Dr. Islam Balat was my mom’s OBGYN and delivered me, he was my OBGYN for most of my life and both Dr. Islam Balat and his son, Dr. Michael Balat delivered my son via c-section. They are incredible doctors, they genuinely care about their patients and their lives. They ask about my mom, grandmother, my husband, and my son each time I see them. I wouldn’t dream of having a different OBGYN. Each time that I have gone to other doctors that were closer to my home, I always end up back with the Balats.

First timeI have been seen and felt SEEN! Thank you Doctor M Balat. I am very happy with this team. I am high risk pregnancy with a lot of health issues and was taken care of through all things. Thank you

Dr Balat is a great docor he will find what you have and explain every detail he won’t let you go without asking questions and answering all of them.I loved my new Doctor and don’t regret changing to him.Thank you so much for loving your job and doing the best of it by helping others.God bless you and all your staff always

Dr. Zeid is moving his office but I will follow him wherever he goes. Once you meet him, you will agree that he truly cares. He is thorough and takes his time with his patients. I feel blessed to have him as my doctor.

I came there a little late in my pregnancy (about 30 weeks). In that time they left a great impression! The staff is super friendly. The wait time is great. Clean & nice environment. I delivered my baby a few days ago with Dr. Zeid. He is great & makes sure that your baby is getting the best chances. I would definitely recommend him & plaza OB-GYN 💕

Dr Balat Sr. Has been our family OB for many years . He is the best physician I’ve ever had. He is patient and gentle. His bedside manners are above and beyond expectations . Thank you Dr B for all that you do, your knowledge and professionalism. 🫶🏽

At my previous OB-GYN I felt like a number without any results. Dr. Isam Balat and his staff are AMAZING!!! I love that he listens to your concerns and offers solutions. He is professional and knowledgeable. They really care about you and everyone is super friendly!

Dr. Michael Balat has been a lifesaver. I was on the verge of needing a blood transfusion when I came to him, very sick and suffering from excessive bleeding due to uterine fibroids. I’d already had several procedures with different gynecologist with no relief.Dr. Balat is extremely knowledgeable in fibroids and an excellent surgeon. He removed the fibroids and inserted and IUD. Three years later I am no longer anemic and have not bled since. The surgery process and recovery was a breeze.Dr. Balat’s bedside manner is excellent and I always enjoy going in for my yearly paps. He is sure to ask how I’m doing and address any and all concerns. If I am experiencing issues, his staff is always quick to get me an appointment and I never have to wait long.It’s hard to find good doctors that genuinely care. I’m so grateful I found this doctor and wouldn’t go to anyone else!

I’ve been coming to Plaza OB-GYN facility for 15 years. One of my church members referred me because Dr. Balat delivered her baby and he exceeded her expectations. Every since then I made him my obgyn and he’s so polite, informative, educated, patient and a great listener. He loves his patients and cares a lot. Lately, I’ve been going to his son Micheal Balat which he’s in the same facility- he’s awesome as well. Always knows the right things to say and will offer great suggestions and so kind hearted. I love it here and I’ve already referred so many people here. Also, the staff is kind and the wait times have improved tremendously.

The BEST. I’ve been a patient for 15yrs and have never been disappointed. Dr. Balat is very understanding, makes me feel comfortable and gives you options. The entire staff is a pleasure. I could go on, but scheduling and see for yourself (if you’re looking).

Dr. Michael Balat has been a blessing for our little family. We have experienced precious pregnancy loss and coming to him has been the best decision. He is compassionate, listens and NEVER rushes you and also is just overall so respectful. His nurses are really great too. I hadn’t seen him since December 2022 and I am glad I came back as he has a new team who is on top of their stuff and also super kind. Also the sweet lady that does the blood draws is amazing and I don’t hate getting blood taken as much as I imagined with her. I can’t wait to be his patient for a long time to come.

I want express my sincere gratitude for the level of care I received. The staff and Dr. Micheal Balat is very professional and friendly. Dr. Balat makes it easy and comfortable to asks and answer my concerns. Thank you for providing exceptional service.

Dr Balat is an excellent doctor. Very professional, caring, knowledgeable and always thinking of how he can help his patients. Number 1 on my list. His staff are also nice, friendly, and helpful.

Dr. Michael Balat and the entire Plaza OBGYN have all been amazing! Dr. Michael is compassionate and patient in his visits, and I always leave his office feeling heard and empowered. His skillful minimally invasive techniques has allowed me to return to my normal routine within a few weeks of major surgery. He is a wonderful physician and an even better person. I am so grateful to have found this practice and very appreciative that they all worked with me during a busy holiday season. Thank you to Alex, Donyale, Sandra, and Alexa, as well for your friendly and prompt patient care. I would recommend Dr. Michael Balat and his team to anyone searching for the most excellent care!

Thanks God and the Doctor Isam Balat who delivery my 3 kids. Hospital Park Plaza and Women Hospital. It's almost 33 years since i had my first kid. He has a lot of experience in his profession. I will recommend him to every one . What a joy that he still working and still taking care of me. THANK YOU DOCTOR BALAT.

I have been going to this center for years and have never had a problem. The staff is very friendly and make you feel comfortable. If you have any questions during your visit they don't hesitate to answer them. I started out with the father but now I see the son. They are both good doctors

Dr Balat has taken care of my well woman issues for 30+ years. He is excellent and very knowledgeable. I appreciate his service for me and my family!

I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional care and support I have received under your guidance Dr. Michael Balat. The dedication and professionalism of your team is truly commendable and I am beyond satisfied with the level of expertise, compassion they consistently demonstrate. I never hesitate to recommend your services to others seeking knowledgeable, compassionate and dedicated OBGYN. Your contributions to women’s health and wellness is truly invaluable. Thanks

Dr. Zeid is wonderful. He is incredibly thorough, gets to know you, answers all questions and is very straightforward and guides through the process. The office staff is always kind and sweet, all the way to the nurses and lab tech as well. Wonderful experience.

Dr. Sam Balat is professional, caring and a great doctor overall, that has taken care of my gynecological needs for 33 years. His staff is professional and courteous as well. Keep up the great work team.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Dr. Michael Balat is such a wonderful and caring doctor and the team at Plaza OB-GYN are also extremely nice! They have answered any questions I’ve had throughout my pregnancy and are so helpful. I would recommend this clinic to any mom to be!

I love this OB/GYN office. The entire staff is great and visits are fast and efficient. Dr.M Balat is amazing and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend this office for great prenatal and well woman care!

I absolutely love Plaza OB GYN. The staff is very polite and professional from start to finish, I promise you will never catch a bad day with this office. Needless to say, Dr. Balat is always professional but, his relationship with his patients are on a personal level. You can better communicate what you need to say without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this doctor to anyone.

Dr. M Balat has been the most exciting and awesome experience I have ever experienced as a first time mom. He helped me through my pregnancy and is very patient. Anything I had a question about he listens. The staff are also amazing too! My number one place to go for my OB appointments!

You can’t put a price on the service you will receive here. I LOVE THEM. Dr Balat treats me like a DAUGHTER of his. He reconnected something in my abdomen that had me numb for over 22 years. Before him I couldn’t feel my hand on the bottom of my stomach when I touched it and I would get numb in my legs and I was no longer tickerlish under my feet 👣 but now I can’t stand to be tickled again. The poor circulation is gone. The back pain is gone and we caught those tumors in time and removed them. I’m so Grateful 1 year anniversary of my Surgery. I’m Grateful ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Dr. Balat has always been so successful in making me feel more comfortable! He has delivered all three of my babies by c-section as they were all too big for me to have naturally. I trust him to help me with any issues or problems I may have.

Dr.Isam Balat, has been my doctor for years! I got my well woman’s check up and I appreciate everyone’s assistance on making me more knowledgeable and comfortable within my appointment. Also, I absolutely love the lady that does the blood work there, I believe her name is Ms.Tasha. She is really awesome and the staff are kind and professional. Thank you Dr.Balat, the kind nurse that assisted me (I apologize I forgot her name) and Thank you Ms.Tasha for your help!

Plaza OB-GYN is amazing! I was referred by my old OB (he retired), the staff is so kind and friendly, Dr. Michael Balat is amazing he has listened and answered to all my questions and concerns through my journey of getting pregnant, he’s so patient and understanding. If you are looking for a new OB this definitely the place to go!

The doctors and staff are always so friendly and helpful. They are efficient and get you on with your day, but not at the expense of listening to all of your concerns and answering all your questions. By far the best medical care and experience I’ve received.

Appt was for 3:30 they were a little slow on getting me to the back and me seeing the Dr. But overall it was a last-minute appt and I was just happy to be seen. Everything else was professional and on point. Dr Balat is a very caring physician and that's why he's been my physician for 40 years

Dr Isam Balat is an excellent doctor! This was my first major surgery and i was very nervous and afraid to address my large fibroids along with excruciating pain and multiple cycles within the month. He listened to my concerns and objections and answered all my questions and concerns. On the day of the surgery everything with extremely well and I began to recover quite quickly ahead of the healing curve. During the post op follow-up visits him and his staff were very supportive and friendly and generally cared about my progress as a patient. I have such a better quality of life now and I attribute that to Dr. Islam Balat and his expertise. So blessed to have found such a great doctor.

Dr. Balat and Alex were incredibly attentive and patiently listened to all of my questions, concerns, and history. I even thanked them after the visit for the individualized care. Blood work was done on site. Plaza also offers many different surgeries and procedures. Front office staff is great and kind as well.Highly recommend.

Dr. Zeid, Deborah and the staff are amazing! They’re friendly, professional and welcoming. Dr. Zeid delivered both of my babies. I refer new mamas to his office whenever I can. He is a great doctor; he listens, you don’t feel rushed and he addresses any and all concerns. Highly recommend!

I am so grateful that I found this place through google reviews.I moved out of state and was very skeptical about finding the right OBGYN, tried one and it was horrible. Then I found Dr. Isam Balat I was amazed from my first visit. And after his retirement Dr. Michael took over and delivered my first baby, and now the second one is in the way. A blessing from the sky, the staff is lovely and very reliable. And I’ve recommended him to so many of my friends.

The Greatest Service performed by Dr I Balat has forever spoiled me. His longtime expertise knowledge with female organs has paved the way for many babies births. His gentle spirit is one of caring for his patience well being. I'll turn flips to keep him on board for my yearly well women exam. He's my Great Doctor Forever !!I Love YouDr. I. Balat

I was recommended to go here by a trusted woman in my life. My Dr. is Dr. M. Balat. He is very kind and empathetic and gentle. I appreciate how he explains things before they happen. All the staff there is great. I'm a nervous patient and they have made accommodations to help make me more comfortable. I was diagnosed with endometriosis through Dr. M. Balat and recommend him for anyone else who suspects they have or have been diagnosed with endometriosis.

Both Dr. Balat (Sr) and (Jr) are incredible MD’s and continue to deserve the “best in class doctor” designations they so often achieve. Dr. M. Balat is always kind, professional, extremely knowledgeable, very well researched and up-to-date on any emerging medical issues related to pregnancy (i.e. COVID times), makes you feel comfortable during the unfamiliar, has a great bedside manner and always perfectly answers any and all of my myriad of questions and concerns that arise. I cannot more highly recommend Dr. Balat and the Plaza OBGYN experience.

I was a little sad to say goodbye to Papa Balat but his son Dr.Balat has been amazing! I feel very comfortable expressing concerns, and asking questions. The nursing team is also very nice, and overall it’s a very wonderful office with great staff!!

I recommend Dr. M. Balat , he is a great doctor. My family is very happy that we got to experience our pregnancy with him. The staff is great, Karen is my nurse, could not have asked for a better team. Clean, very nice staff, respectful and patient. Great experience every time

I’ve been going here for a while. Customer service is great & welcoming. Even if I’m late, they always accommodate me & see me. Dr. Michael Balat delivered my son & is such a great doctor!

I have been seeing Dr. Isam Balat for over 20 years. His medical knowledge, attention to detail, and a desire to completely care for his patients are some of the reasons I will never leave. I suffered with endometriosis and PCOS for years. Dr. Balat did so many things to help us conceive before they became mainstream knowledge. I remember him telling me that he read this or that success story in a medical journal and that research had proven that it was helping patients, so we would see if I also had success, and then sure enough it would become mainstream knowledge a year or two later. He’s humble and willing to look at what leading researchers are finding. I don’t think I would have been able to have 2 successful births without his help. I am forever grateful that my friend referred me to Dr Balat. I’ve never met such a caring doctor. Go see him! You won’t regret it.

Dr. Balat and his healthcare professional staff are amazing.I have never had a caring, knowledgeable, kind and humble caregiver in my life.He is simply the BEST!!You can feel he really cares about your wellness, and recovery.

Feels like I never left the place. Been going since Dr.Andrade was there. That being said at first I was iffy in returning since she left. As I always go with a female doctor, my choice but Dr.Zeid made it comfortable. Skipped a year of following up but glad I was able to make appt within days for my concerns. Great overall from staff and the Dr!!

I have been going to Dr. Isam Balat for over 30 years. I have trusted him and he has provided the best care for any issue that has arisen. He also is the doctor for my daughter and delivered my grand children. My granddaughters have grown into young ladies, and he has seen them and cared for them. His son, Dr. Michael Balat joined his practice, and he has also seen us periodically. He took care of my granddaughter during her pregnancy. We trust Dr. Michael and Isam Balat impeccably.

i love coming here! dr michael balat took care of me throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, he was always making sure baby and i were doing good and answered any questions my husband and i had. bedside manner 10/10 all nurses are amazing, super sweet ladies. definitely recommend!

I have been seeing Dr. Isam Balat for 25 years now. I could not imagine having to find another doctor. He has always had the best bed side manner. He treats his patience with such respect and gentleness.

Previously a patient and I’m returning and absolutely felt comfortable. Dr. Michael Balat, allowed me to express my health concerns and developed a plan for my health treatment. Staff are very friendly and effective. I was in/out in less than 45min.

Office staff is very professional; Dr. Isam Balat is amazing and very gentle and explains everything to you!! Not only did Dr. Balat deliver me 47 years ago he delivered all 3 of my girls and we are all patients of Plaza OB GYN.

Dr Balat always takes his time with me and listens. He is very thorough with his examinations and also offers excellent advice about overall health. He is very gentle and very kind. He makes you feel very comfortable.

I have been seeing Dr Balat since I was 19 years old and delivered my only 2 children. Dr Balat is truly the best to me and best Gyno I’ve seen. He truly cares and remembers details of his patients. Other doctors in the past looked over my problems, he always with out a doubt knows and handles it so well. You will not regret him being your doctor. From his nurses to clerical staff all are so detailed and compassionate. I don’t doubt anything he suggests from medicine to surgery. The world needs more doctors such as he. Thank you Dr Balat your the best!!

Highly recommend the staff and nurses is very nice and Dr Zeid is a blessing from god he really saved me and my daughters life back in 2020 i was high risk and he really made sure me and baby was going to be just fine I'm currently with child again and he's taken every precaution to prevent any risk from last time. Great Dr. I know I am in good hands!

Dr. Isam Balat is phenomenal! Before I found him (via recommendation from a family member) I had been to 5 other OBGYN’s who could not help me and would just tell me I was too overweight and never find the root of the problem. Since seeing Dr. Balat I have had 2 kids and yes I need help with my weight and he is helping me there. But he is extremely thorough and takes care of me as a whole from the inside out. Not to mention he is kind, compassionate and personal. I love the nursing staff as well and even his son has come to the practice since I’ve been going and I’ve seen him a couple of times. He’s great too! I can’t recommend this office and these doctors more! I have never felt more seen, hear, cared for and understood so much in a doctors office as I have here. Thank you Dr. Balat you have helped make my dreams of having a family come true!

I really like my doctor, Dr. Michael Balat. He is very personable. He asks relative questions and he asks if I have questions/concerns. Then we start talking and laughing about other things. He's really good!

Dr. Balat is amazing.... hands down I give him 5 out of 5 stars but my rating would be a 3 out of 5 for the staff. The ones that answer the phones are ridiculous and kind of rude and dismissive. The nursing staff is a bit incompetent as well. It's so sad because we encounter them more than we do the doctor and it's always a nightmare. In 6 years this is my first year contemplating going to a different clinic.Update: thank you for the reply but you don't need to know my name in order to address the complaints. Tell the staff to do better and have manners when dealing with patients. The doctor is amazing. His staff needs work! Also, I just looked and there are 100s of reviews that say the same thing about the staff. So my advise would be don't put too much effort trying to investigate who I am channel that energy in to etiquette training for the staff.

Dr.Zeid is fantastic. Always to the point and answers any questions i have. So far my experience has been nothing but pleasant. I have yet to deliver but I will update on my experience after delivery.Check in and check out staff are always friendly and welcoming. The nurses are all super nice and make me feel comfortable. I have been to other clinics with grouchy staff and this clinic is the opposite, they always treat clients respectfully & with smiles on their faces.Facilities are VERY clean every visit. Lobby/waiting area is immaculate, cozy and spacious.Service times are fast. I have never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen. I’m usually in and out within an hour or less.

Dr. Isam Balat is the best! He is thorough, he knows his patients, and remembers their history. He solves problems and attacks every issue or concern with a favorable outcome. He however will always run late because he has such a full schedule. Even with the delays I have to experience, it is well worth it! I have been a patient of his for the last 10 years. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

First visit with Dr.Michael Balat this morning and both doctor and his staff were great. I’d say the best experience I have had in an OB practice. Dr.Balat was very straightforward and detailed about findings and tx plan. He took his time to listen to my concerns and I did not felt rushed as I have with previous providers.

Dr. Michael Balat is one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. He listens to you and your needs as a patient. He’s compassionate and very knowledgeable and is always willing to answer questions you may have. The receptionists and everyone at the front desk are extremely nice and welcoming! The nurses are caring and welcoming! Definitely will continue care here for any of my OBGYN needs.

By far Dr. I. Balat is the best doctor, hands down. Delivered all 3 of my children. His nurnse staff is very courteous and he has the best bedside manners that I have ever experienced as well as very knowledgeable about his specialty.

Dr. Michael Balat is fantastic. He’s very attentive and answers all questions. The nurses are also great and the facility is VERY clean.Finding an OB-GYN can be very difficult however, I am so thankful I found one I am 100% comfortable with!

I had amazing experiences here being pregnant for the first time. Dr. Michael Balat is by far one of the best doctors I’ve ever had. He listens to you and your needs as a patient, encourages you through labor, he listened to everything on my birth plan and explained everything to me in a way I understood. He’s compassionate and very knowledgeable and is always willing to find a solution that best suits you as an individual. The receptionists and everyone at the front desk are extremely nice and welcoming! Most of the nurses are also caring and welcoming! Definitely will continue care here for any of my OBGYN needs.

My visits are always pleasant. I am greeted immediately when I walk through the door. The staff is friendly and polite. Additionally Dr. Michael Balat is up close and personal. He is down to earth and I feel comfortable with sharing my concerns and asking any questions that I may have. Without a doubt I would definitely recommend him to all my family and friends.

Doctor I. Balat is hands down the best GyNo I’ve seen. He is very thorough and truly cares and remembers details of his patients. Other doctors in the past grazed over my fibroid issues, he got to the bottom of it and handled it so well. You won’t regret him being your doctor. From his nurses to clerical staff all are so detailed and compassionate. I don’t doubt anything he suggests from medicine to surgery. The world needs doctors such as he.

Emergency Room visit over the weekend. It’s Monday. These people don’t even know me. I’m in excruciating pain! The Doctor gave me an ultrasound the first day. He comes highly recommended because he’s my daughters’ doctor. Guess what? Surgery is in the morning! He treated me like I was his very own daughter. He found the Issue and took me serious. He said he’s taking care of everything for me to deal with this only a few more hours. I’m doing a review after my procedure and I’m going to let you know the real deal of how everyone treats me. You will not be left in the dark. Talk to you soon ♥️♥️♥️

Where do I begin? I have been coming here for years and that won’t change. Dr. Balat is the best. He is thorough, knowledgeable, he always stays up to date on the best methods and treatments for his patients. He isn’t just Ob Gynecologist but is an expert in so many different services. As a woman I appreciate his compassion and always knowing what will be best for me and my health.

As crazy as sounds, I've been with Dr. Balat for over 40 yrs. I adore this man. I'm so happy for his successful business and his expansion throughout the years. He was there for me like no other doctor would have been through my pregnancy. Our child was born 12 weeks early and he was there for us at all times. He always treated me as if I was his family. He's delivered two of our grandchildren. I can highly recommend this Practice without any reservation whatsoever! His staff has always been very professional on every level. And the location is extremely easy to access.

Dr Zeid and his clinical staff EXCEPTIONAL ❤️ service as always. The office staff shows extraordinary customer service skills. I have never had a bad experience or any problems. I highly recommend ⭐️🏆⭐️😊

I’ve been a patient of Dr I. Balat for over a decade and he is the best there is! He is amazing! He knows this field better than anyone and I’ve never ever been dissatisfied in all my years going to him. I trust him wholeheartedly and I just cannot say enough about his skills. He is also very kind, listens to your concerns, very responsive, puts your mind at ease, and overall the greatest OB/GYN ever.

Dr. Zeid & his nurses are absolutely AMAZING. Very clean office, great location, safe parking garage and even great restaurants located in the same building.Check in is always quick and easy along with minimal wait times to get called back. You can tell they really care about each and every patient they see here. 10/10.

Listen, Dr. Z is amazing and really cares about my health! I have been dealing with heavy and unpredictable monthly flows but we talked about the root cause of the problem! We discussed my options and he answered any questions that I had! I appreciate him for listening and valuing my concerns about my body!

The service here is amazing. I can be very particular about wanting to speak with a person about anything involving my medical life. You would think that is an easy ask but surprisingly it can be hard to find, not here. The entire staff is kind, professional, informative and personable.

I've been a patient of Dr. I. Balat since 1999. He is the most patient, caring and committed doctor around. I always feel like I'm the only patient that matters during my appointments. He and his staff are simply THE BEST!

I've have been going to Dr.Balat for 5 yrs and he has the warmest personality and his bedside manners is impeccable and he's not the type of Dr that come in and rush in and out. The entire staff is the GREATEST everyone is so sweet. It's really hard to find an entire staff that's great....I will miss Dr Balat whenever he retire

Sam Balat is a kind competent doctor. I enjoyed seeing the new space and found it easy to find. I liked the added security as I entered the office. They asked for my identification and mask were required .

I would give Dr. Zeid 10 stars. I got the best care from him and his staff during my pregnancy. He’s so caring, professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

Today I was very impressed with the service I received. I didn't have to wait long as I've had to in the past. And Dr. Michael Balat was very professional and helpful today and took his time. I must admit my last few visits were not so good. But today was great, and I felt my doctor was genuine and cared.

I love Dr.Balat (Son) and his staff is always so helpful and personable. He takes his time to explain everything and always is very patient. Never have had to wait if I have an appointment scheduled. 10/10

Dr.Balat took very good care of me and I was a high risk patient.Went to him in 2019 and had her in Feb 2020.Great service from the nurse assistants

I have been coming here for several years and always had a good experience. Dr. Zeid and his nurses are great. There is free street parking nearby.

I recommend Dr. Zeid Louay. I first saw him for my 3 month postpartum check up. He was not pushy, he has a high emotional intelligence, and he is genuinely caring. His nurse, Danielle, is efficient and caring as well. Whenever I call she gets back to me immediately with a resolution. This means alot to me.Now, there is a parking fee for the garage and the waiting room is a bit chaotic, but sometimes we have to be understanding in order to get the best care 🙂. I give them 5 stars!

Dr.Zeid is the best! Took care of me my whole pregnancy and even performed my c-section! His staff was amazing as well. Thank you for everything.

Although I love Dr Balat, the wait time is ridiculous. I always have to wait 45 minutes to be called in. Very annoying. I’m only 13 weeks and I’m seriously considering changing doctors for this reason. I’m pregnant, no feeling good, last thing I want to do if be at the doctors for two hours every few weeks.

Dr zeid and his nurses are amazing, he’s the most caring and understanding dr I have ever had . He delivered my first baby . he’s always reachable and patiently answers all of your questions and he make sure you understand everything when explaining things to you.

My Doctor is 👨🏻‍⚕️ Dr. Micheal Balat. And he has been great. Always giving me information even when I myself didnt know I needed to know that. 👍🏻 Thumbs up, 10/10 great place

Dr. Zeid is the best doctor. Always reachable in case of emergency, even late hours. Always friendly, explains everything in details. Very experienced and professional. His nurses are very friendly too.

I have the best experience here I really recommend it ,I normally don’t write reviews on places , but I can’t pass this Dr. Michael Balat is the most caring and professional I ever had , he really care about his patients and make sure you feel ok I give a 5 star to him and his staff , the nurse Lorena she was the best too ..

Dr. Balat is wonderful. The care I receive from Dr. Balat is grand. He listens to me, takes his time and really gives great information. I've been seeing him for years. He has guided me through my infertility, referred me to amazing fertility doctors, and has performed several surgeries (all gone great). Dr Balat has also delivered my two pregnancies, one which was high risk. Thank you Dr. Balat.
