Robert Bala, MD

Robert Bala, MD, has been practicing Family Medicine for 20 years. Dr Bala sees patients ages 2 years and older at the Gateway location. What is your patient care philosophy? I advise and treat all my patients as though I was advising and treating a family member. What would you like people to know about you as a physician? My first and most important prescription is lifestyle changes: diet, exercise and weight loss. Why did you decide to become a physician? I was, and still am, doing mission work. What do you enjoy most about working with patients? I like empowering my patients with as much real medical information as possible so they can make better decisions for their healthcare.
