Dr. Balsama takes pride not just in his pioneering work in bariatrics throughout the  Northeast, but also in his reputable patient care. In creating a space for those with  the mutual problem of weight loss, he helped a group of fully commited former as  well as current patients that take part in every single thing from run/walk events to  fashion shows. Matching that with a welcoming team who’s always available to  respond to questions and lend a supportive shoulder, Dr. Balsama has developed  not just a community, but a family.
