Our daughter has laryngomalacia and so we had many appointments with Dr Balakrishnan, as well as a surgery, and he was wonderful throughout. Listened to our concerns and explained things very well. We always felt heard and felt like our daughter was in good hands. We were very thankful to have worked with him.
