Thanks to God and Dr. Balaguer I didn't loose my left pinky finger after being almost severed by a sliding door. He was great explaining all the procedure to save and reconstruct my finger and did such a great job I hardly have a scar. I want to thank Dr. Balaguer's surgery coordinator "Marina Paez" for being so wonderful to both me and my husband, who also had surgery recently on one of his hands. She made sure that we had the best of care when it came to making appointments and listening to our concerns. Dr. Balaguer and Marina have both won our hearts. Also, I want to mention Giovanna, Frank, Jesse and Ana for being so nice to me. Dr. Balaguer has a wonderful staff. Once again, Thank you. Rosa (Rosie) Tipton.
