Impressed colleague submitted the following Caught You Caring recognition for Dr. Alfred Balasa.
“I was working with a patient in the PICU when Dr. Balasa came to bedside. I was immediately impressed with his incredible bedside manner with both my patient and her parents. He focused on the patient while still involving her parents, answering their questions thoughtfully, thoroughly and honestly. He explained the intricacies of this patient’s case while acknowledging he had more questions than answers at the time, but left the patient and her family confident they would know more in the coming days. I’m happy I was able to be a “fly on the wall” for this incredible encounter. Our patients are lucky to have you on their team!”
