Dr. Carl C. Balog, MD, Tigard OR

Dr. Balog and Bob are literally the most amazing people I have ever met. I had a really bad Si joint problem and I saw 17 different specialties in 13 months and got no relief at all. I had four different people recommended this office and I only wish I would have gone to see them sooner. They have completely changed my life. Like I don’t know if I would still be here today without them. I truly feel like I was treated like a billing number everywhere else I went. My older sister has the same injury as me but went undiagnosed for 13 years. Every doctor the both of us saw told us it was back pain and that we had all kinds of damage in our backs so we spent years trying to fix our backs and it never worked. They have been treating my sister‘s SI joint for like 2 1/2 years now and she is almost back to her old self because of them. I swear they are the only doctors that truly Listen when you speak. They are true healers/ hero’s in my book and I will never go anywhere else even if I have to sell my car and pay cash. If you are suffering from chronic pain then you have to go see them. You will get the best care possible and you will be treated like family, even by the front desk team. I love you all so much and I thank God every day I have you in my life. Honestly don’t think I would be here today if I hadn’t met you. You guys are the absolute best and if I could give you ten stars I would because you definitely deserve it. Thanks again for all you have done for my friends and family. Oh yeah that’s another thing. I was referred to them by one of my coworkers who had a bad ankle and could barely walk around work and only a few months after seeing Balog she was walking around like she was in her prime again. I got to witness her progress first hand and that’s what made me come in. It was like I witnessed a miracle so I knew I had to try and it was literally the best decision I made on this terrible painful journey. Thanks again you guys. You are so loved and appreciate by so many. I’m sure of that.

I moved to Oregon a year ago and was so glad that Dr. Balog was accepting new patients for pain management. I can't thank Dr. Balog and his staff enough. They are very caring, take time with you and answer your questions. Dr. Balog suggested I get an updated Lumbar MRI which showed a compressed fracture at L2. In November he performed Kyphoplasty, which has helped a lot with my pain.
Today I received a steroid injection in my right hip which has also been a problem area. Dr. Balog said the numbing agent might sting, I might feel a pinch, but it really didn't hurt! This is the first time I have had a steroid injection that wasn't painful. Thank you Dr. Balog for your expertise and please thank your staff for me as well.

Dr. Balog should not be practicing medicine he has zero bedside manners. He has been investigated by the Oregon Medical Board as well as he's been sued. He dismissed me as a patient without just cause not a phone call back after him and his PA both agreed that I need a very barbaric surgery and they still decided to dismiss me and again not even a phone call letting me know why? I would highly recommend not going there the staff is horrible as well they will never work with you all they want to do is demand and talk down to you
