FemaleAbout Kristina Balamane
I became a healthcare provider to support my community. As a New Orleans native and former multisport athlete, I’m all too familiar with sports-related injuries. I competed in cheerleading, ran cross country, and even served as captain of the bowling team.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, our three sons, and our two rescue dogs. My patients can always count on me for extraordinary care—I treat each one like family. Every child who walks into our office receives the same level of care I would give my own.

When we arrive at the front desk to sign in, the staff was extremely nice when we to the back to get assessed to talk to the nurse. She was extremely friendly very bubbly, and then we saw the nurse practitioner which was great. All the staff was so friendly and kind and the phlebotomies was a nice lady also.

The provider took the time to listen to my concerns about my child's injury and did not rush the visit. They ordered all the necessary tests to help determine the next steps in care.

She's great. She's very understanding, very concerned, explains things well, and I love her. I love sending my son to see her when the time is needed, and she is excellent.

The facility itself is very clean, nice, and in a great location. The provider, however, was very unsympathetic towards my daughter and I felt she treated us below par due to lack of insurance. I don't mind going back the this facility, just seeing a different doctor next time.
