I have been seeing Dr. Balbino for years as an MD for Baptist. I followed him to his new practice. He is kind, professional, compassionate and doesn’t try to force medications/vaccinations you don’t need. His common sense, holistic approach, has been very beneficial for me. Plus, he will actually listen to you. I recommend him to everyone who needs help.

Dr. Balbino and the entire staff at Mandarin Wellness Center are incredible people. They are so kind, patient and helpful. I’ve been in treatment for Late Stage Neuro Lyme + co-infections for almost a decade—first seeing Dr. Hartman and now, Dr. Balbino. Not only did they save my life—quite literally— but Dr. Balbino is kind, empathetic, intelligent, generous and truly understands what his patients are experiencing. He is incredibly accommodating, even going out of his way in between visits to help during times of crisis as quickly as possible. I would recommend Dr. Balbino to anyone experiencing chronic illness. He will walk beside you as you navigate the healing journey. Thank you, Dr. Balbino! You are a bright light in a difficult experience and have made my healing possible.

In March 2024, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. After the initial shock of the diagnosis, I sought help from Dr. Balbino to explore treatment options other than biologics and immunosuppressants. Dr. Balbino devoted significant time to research emerging treatments with potential efficacy and strategized as to the order and combinations in which we tried them. Ultimately, his work paid off, as an endoscopy and colonoscopy in December 2024 revealed my disease was in remission. I’m grateful to Dr. Balbino for his care, critical thinking, and friendship—and I recommend him to anyone looking for alternatives to commonly prescribed Crohn’s treatments.
