    Doctor is professional and efficient. A quick examination revealed an inflammation and he prescribed the appropriate treatment.

I had to call 3-5 times, and each time I sat in the queue anywhere from 30 to 95 minutes before giving up or finally getting through. It should not be this difficult to contact the office or reschedule an appointment. The doctors may be great, but the administrative side seriously needs improvement. Please fix the phone system--patients shouldn't have to waste hours just trying to reach someone.

The thought was that maybe his adenoids came back or there was an issue there because they were removed. Dr. Balaker came in, shined a light up his nose (same kind that you use for the ear) and said there was nothing wrong and it could potentially be an allergy issue. She was in the room for less than 10 minutes. Then we get a bill for a nasal endoscopy and an outpatient 45min procedure visit. An endoscopy usually involves some form of scoping which is not what happened here. There is some definite fraudulent billing here and the office is unethical. Called and nicely talked to Sandra in the office but they refused to make any adjustments. Go elsewhere and do not come here!

My story began with discomfort and hearing loss in my right ear. At first, I went to a doctor who diagnosed me with a middle ear infection and prescribed antibiotics. However, the treatment brought no relief. My condition only worsened -- I continued to experience pressure, discharge, and pain. Later, it turned out that the diagnosis had been incorrect. The real cause was a fungal infection, and in such cases antibiotics not only fail to help, but can actually make the problem worse. Because of this mistake, the disease progressed: the fluid that had built up behind my eardrum eventually developed into a cholesteatoma -- a serious and dangerous condition that can destroy the ear's delicate bone structures and threaten one's health. Almost a month later, when the situation had already become very advanced, I finally came to see Dr. Zuniga. From that moment, everything changed: I met not only a brilliant surgeon, but also a remarkable human being. From the day of the correct diagnosis until the operation, there were many worries and difficult moments, but at every stage Dr. Zuniga showed incredible patience, compassion, and support. I always felt safe and knew I was in the very best hands. The surgery, which I underwent more than six months ago, was a success. Today, I feel wonderful. It was a truly complex procedure, but the result has been nothing short of a gift. Words cannot fully express the depth of my gratitude: it is relief, joy, and the overwhelming feeling of having been given back a full and normal life. In addition to his outstanding professional skills, Dr. Zuniga possesses rare human qualities -- kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care. People like him, who practice medicine at the highest level while also giving so much of their heart, are a true blessing. Meeting Dr. Zuniga has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. On behalf of my whole family, I want to say: we thank God for sending us such a doctor, and we will be forever grateful to Dr. Zuniga for everything he has done. May God bless him and all the physicians who serve their patients with the same devotion and love for their calling.

I need a rhino to fix these issues caused by the implant. Of course insurance won't pay to fix it. I wonder if my nose was purposefully messed up to get me to come back to pay for a rhino down the line. I went back a few times after voicing my concerns, but I was told that "your nose is perfectly straight inside." It's actually not. The root of my problem was never fixed... I still have serious deviation issues in my nose among other problems that were never addressed properly. I also have a hump on one side of my nose from this nasal implant. Ughhh. So frustrating. Also, what they failed to inform me is, during a septoplasty, they remove the septum cartilage (not straightening it). And if you ever need a rhinoplasty, they use your septum cartilage to form your new nose. Well, since my septum has now been removed, they either have to harvest rib cartilage or use cadaver cartilage in a functional rhinoplasty to fix my current issues caused by this surgeon. I am so unsatisfied. Be warned.

At my follow-up appointment on 10/24/25, I expressed that my symptoms had not improved. Dr. Balaker performed a brief nasal scope exam that lasted less than a minute and stated that everything "looked fine." When I asked for a CT scan to further evaluate why my symptoms persist, I was told it was not necessary. I left feeling dismissed and unheard. Throughout my visits, I felt rushed and uncomfortable asking questions. During my last appointment, her bedside manner was particularly concerning -- she was not personable, appeared impatient, and at times rolled her eyes when I asked questions. As a patient who underwent surgery, I expected thoughtful follow-up and a willingness to investigate ongoing symptoms. After surgery, no one from the office contacted me to check on my recovery or schedule follow-up care. I had to call the office myself to arrange a post-operative appointment. Additionally, prior cultures had shown heavy growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and I did not feel there was adequate follow-through regarding this finding. Finally, at my follow-up visit I was told there would be no copay. Four months later, I received a bill, which was surprising and frustrating. Surgery is a serious decision. Patients deserve careful follow-up, transparency, and to feel heard when they report persistent symptoms. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. I will not be returning to this provider.

    I attempted to contact the doctor and her office for over a week regarding a serious and ongoing…read moremedical concern. I called multiple times (including early morning and late afternoon) and left detailed messages through both the office and the answering service. Despite being assured that my messages would be relayed to the doctor, I only received a callback from the doctor after hours - one week after I first called her office and after waiting a full day, waiting to get an appointment as her on-call doctor promised me. I sought evaluation at urgent care, and I was advised there to follow up promptly with my ENT specialist. Even with that recommendation, I was unable to obtain any response from this office. When a patient reports a potentially serious issue and another medical provider recommends specialist follow-up, timely communication is critical. One call should be sufficient to at least receive acknowledgment. That did not occur here. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this physician or her staff.
