Hyde Park Chiropractic Wellness Center

Dr. Balan is a true gift to her clients. I was referred to her by a friend fifteen years ago and so the relationship began. I have so much respect for Dr. Balan, for her excellence in the field. I’ve watched the business grow in the past years without incident. Over the years Dr. Balan has had her share of receptionist. Some have moved on due to other opportunities and some have been ask to move on. Never to affect her professionalism. With that being said the two young ladies that now hold the seat of receptionist/​book keeper as of now are very loud. They seem to be negatively playing way to much for a business atmosphere. You can’t get an adjustment without hearing the loudness of there laughter, talking too much & playing with the patients. This is a wellness center. I would never take the time out to write a review about such a great doctor, that I no longer enjoy visiting because her help is awful.

This place is a scam. They charge you hidden fees for Xrays then sends Xrays off for someone else to read because they’re not capable of reading them. I wasted my time and energy going to this place never got pain medication or relief. I went to a real back doctor and instantly got results. My spine had a fracture and never once did this «Chiropractor» mention this to me.
If you’re looking for a massage perfect place, but if you need real help go else where.

Dr. Balin is a gifted healer, professionally consistent, very relational and loving. Humble office, lovely assistant and fully automated. I also recommend Chavella, her massage therapist. She is very in tune, too.
I went initially because I threw my back out during a bad fall, and ended up recovering from nearly 12 years of GIRD, fully. My digestion has never been so well.
Highly recommend NOT being late, as it messes up their busy schedule. Most often can get seen same day when I call. On a few occasions I’ve been scheduled in during time when she is doing an initial exam for new patient. She takes her time during those and can seem like it takes forever… but that’s because they try to get you in when you need seen.

Dr. Balan is a great physician. Her ability to recognize my pain patterns amd treat accordingly is great. Not limited to pain she treats my nutritional concerns, she is my family physician I see first. Great bedside manner, competemt staff and pleasant surroundings add to the experience. I recommend her clinic to anyone.

I have been going to HPCWC for at 3 years now, and Dr. Balan and her staff have always been courteous and very professional.
Also, I can’t substantiate the experiences others have had – I’ve never been in a gown or seen anyone in one.

Dr. Balan and her staff at HPCWC are just lovely. My husband and I have been going there since 2011 and are always happy with the professional, kind and thorough service we receive. It is honestly a joy and relief to see Dr. Balan and to receive her professional chiropractic care and treatment. We leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and pain free. She has worked her magic on a varied range of pain from the lower & upper back, neck, and feet. She was also amazing when suffering from muscle spasms. We couldn’t recommend her more!

I have been seeing Dr. Balan since I relocated to Hyde Park from Iowa City in 2012. She really knows what she is doing! My flexibility has improved and we have been able to stay on top of issues related to my low back. This is important as I age on top of having cerebral palsy and being in a wheelchair. As a Doctor myself, I can only give the highest acclaim to my esteemed colleague Dr. Balan. I recommend her to everyone!

I’m so thankful we have this wonderful resource in Hyde Park! Dr. Balan has always been very helpful.
Most recently, after seeing two podiatrists for foot pain and not getting a clear diagnosis from either, but being told to wear a podiatry boot around for up to 6 – 8 weeks, I wound up with back pain due to walking unevenly thanks to the boot on one foot. I went to Dr. Balan, as she has helped my back pain many times in the past. I mentioned that I thought my back pain may have been due to wearing this special podiatry boot. She then spent a few minutes with my foot, letting me know the metatarsal was out of position. She fixed it in about 3 minutes when two separate podiatrists didn’t even diagnosis correctly! So no more foot or back pain. Yay! Her staff is also very warm and nice. Easy to get an appt, too.

Dr. Balan is great! Everyone who works in her office is always very polite and knowledgeable. I’ve seen a few chiropractors and she is the first to really get to the source of the problem. I am usually a few minutes late since I come from work but I still get treated pretty timely. The few times I have been early I basically walked right in and my appointment got started.

Waited two hours in a gown while others were seen. Very unprofessional and I still cannot walk. The outdated office and cheap jazz should have tipped me off. I’m so aggravated!
Also, I had an MRI two weeks ago and she wanted to charge me to get X-​rays. Seems like a good way to get the machine paid for, right? Bill folks for tests not needed! So smart.

The 1980’s feel of the office and cheap jazz should have tipped me off, in addition to the receptionist trying to quietly talk on her earpiece to her girlfriend as if I couldn’t tell she was on her cell phone. This wasn’t the issue, but the fact that I waited for almost two hours in a gown in a room and was not seen. I had a class and my parking meter (2 hours in the sucker wasted) was up, so I put on my clothes and left.
«This usually doesn’t happen,» the girl on the cell said. We can get you in tomorrow. Sweet, but my appointment WAS TODAY! I am livid, to say the least. On top of it all, they tried to take X-​Rays when I had already had an MRI less than two weeks ago, a more advanced diagnostic test that said I had spinal stenosis and bulges in the L4/​L5. I really want to know exactly why she wanted to bill my insurance for the X-​rays that weren’t needed when she could have used the MRI results instead. Perhaps she is trying to pay for the X-​Ray machine?
I’ll be searching for yet another chiro in Hyde park. Maybe with a professional staff and physician this time?

I’ve never had a chiropractor before but this is a good place to start. They are pretty flexible with hours and when you need to reschedule. The place is pretty small but very intimate so its not like a huge clinic or anything. I’ve only done chiropractic therapy with them and I haven’t done the massage therapy yet.
