Eva M Balash, MD

I cannot imagine giving Doctor Balash a bad review, especially over something silly like not finding the correct phone number. The Faulkner Hospital has been in transition over the past year, so there have been some bumps in the road with every doctor I see there.
Now, to address her care: Yes, I do sometimes wait for an hour to see Doctor Balash and I can understand why this would frustrate some. But this is not a unique experience for me-​I often wait for a while to see doctors. The delay is at least in part due to the amount of personalized time and care she gives her patients. I switched to her practice after she was highly recommended. I like that, unlike other dermatologists who rely on cosmetic treatments to make most of their money, her practice does not. I used to be pressured-​A LOT-​by my former dermatologist to book fillers, botox, laser, peels, etc. etc. etc. It made me uncomfortable. Eva spends a lot of time reviewing (even by looking up products on the internet) my skincare regimen and carefully examining concerns. I can’t recommend her enough.

Switched to Dr. Eva Balash because Faulkner was more convenient than driving into Longwood. Well, we could drive to Longwood and back AND STILL BE WAITING to be seen! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.
My husband has been waiting for over an hour on my daughters first birthday. We will be switching dermatologists AGAIN.

just called to try and make an appointment, but the number is out of service???

Dr Eva Balash is the best dermatologist I have ever been to! The best!
I have adult acne. I have been trying unsuccessfully for over 30 years for the miracle cure. Dr Balash was the only doctor to have cleared up my skin. My skin has never looked better. She has me on a treatment plan with a cleanser, topical antibiotic and a retinoid cream that has completely eliminated blackheads, pimples and the occasional cyst that caused me distress & scarring. Yes, her staff may be a bit incompetent at times (with the exception of Olga — she is a sweetheart). But Dr Balash is a gem, and I will never go to another dermatologist again. I would recommend her to others!

Dr. Balash is thorough and compassionate. I’ve seen her for years and NO complaints.

I’ve seen Dr Balash twice. Both times I had to wait over an hour. The office didn’t seem particularly busy (no one else was even in the waiting room the first time I went), and the dr didn’t spend much time with me, so I can’t imagine why I had to wait so long, unless she spends more time with other patients than she did with me. Her office staff is bumbling, slow, and incompetent, so maybe they took 45 minutes to tell her I was there. During both visits I found the dr to be haughty, harsh, and snide. She didn’t listen to me, talked over me, and was disbelieving of what I was trying to tell her. It seemed like she took no joy in her job and didn’t want to be there.

Dr Balash is one of the friendliest and most thorough Dermatologists I’ve encountered. She has found issues missed by the two other Dermatologists I visited because she genuinely cares for her patients.
