Very professional and efficient. Only issue is very popular, and follow-up appointments can be a while away. That said I was advised of my results and nothing major. Would recommend

I had to push for certain tests with Dr Ballav, at one point he said that if the tests come back normal, then the likely cause is 'stress' - this was infuriating. I have now changed to a female Endocrinologist who is very collaborative and thorough with testing.
