Reviews
Dr Athwal helped me with treatment for my cluster headaches. He immediately assessed me and clearly outlined options for treatment, both for the immediate pain I was feeling, and long term options. He could not have been more professional and under his treatment my health has completely turned around. I cannot thank him enough
It was a very good experience when I consulted him a few weeks ago
Dr Bal Athwal has been a lifesaver to me! Migraine is a disorder and I understand that, but with the help of this amazingly smart and gifted doctor, I have my life back. He helped find the right medication to get my migraines and other headaches under control. I would recommend him to anyone suffering from frequent headaches.
Dr Athwal is a fantastic doctor, very patient, thorough and takes time to properly listen because he says it's important to listen to the patient in order, for him, to understand what is going on. His secretary, Navena, is his right arm, very professional, compassionate and willing to assist even at a short notice. Very satisfied. Thank you
Dr Bal Athwal was both very kind and very professional, and I recommend him very highly.
A caring and very professional doctor with excellent bedside manner and patient-care. Thank you so much, Dr Bal...🙏🏽
Dr. Bal Athwal was very professional and took my concern and issues extremely serious. I had every confidence in his diagnosis abilities and took his time to explain his opinions. I was given great advice and after 2 years of trying to get answers, I can finally see a solution to my problems.
Friendly and reassuring and very helpful in his explanation.
