Happy with the online appointment system, shorter wait time than my last visit and I like the new, larger waiting room. Also appreciate the soft music, tissues and the water.

We highly recommend Dr. Ashley Balaker and audiologist Martin Struckhoff! Both professionals are approachable and knowledgeable. It was a very positive experience for my mom!

This was one of the easiest doctor appointments I have ever had. Went in, met with doctor Balaker and scheduled my surgery on my way out! Thank you!

Dr. Balaker was able to assess my situation and advise me as to what my next steps should be. She answered all of my questions and never made me feel as though I was taking up too much of her time, as so often is the case. I appreciated the time I spent with her.

Dr. Balaker was very pleasant and professional. My visit was quick but yet, Dr Balaker's time with me was not rushed, which was perfect. I was able to go back to work on time.

Dr. Balaker was an excellent provider. She was friendly, knowledgeable and thorough during my exam. She addressed the issue I was having and offered a variety of potential solutions. I didn't feel like she was trying to "upsell" me anything, and I didn't feel rushed. Thank you Dr. Balaker!

Dr. Balaker is amazing. She was patient and listened to me. She has excellent bed side manor and knows what she is doing. I feel she is one of a dying breed and we are lucky to have a doctor like her.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. I loved being able to make my appointment online through your website. My appointment was confirmed within 2 days and I then received multiple reminders via email, text and phone. Maybe too much communication, but I understand the need. I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment to fill out paperwork and was called into the Dr.'s office by Dr. Balakar at my appointment time, which was appreciated since I was on my lunch hour. Dr. Balakar greeted me with a smile and warmness. I immediately felt comfortable. She took the time to listen, as well as ask enough questions to understand my problem. She explained everything thoroughly and offered additional advice to help my issue since I am not comfortable taking medication. The Huntington Hoag facility is organized, clean and adequately staffed.
