Dr.Balotti, walks in always says Hello how are you doing ? Makes you feel comfortable,I have had a bad back upper,lower,neck pain for years ,and he is always willing to give a steroid injection in the office,not make you go for the series of injections every few weeks,done that before works but not for long,a big expense & time consuming when he agrees to give you an injection right in the office makes life a lot easier. Always says if you need another one you need me just call.very good nice,kind,caring orthopedic PhysicianPatient Submitted Review
