Amazing doctor! She was incredibly kind and took the time to check every aspect of our baby's health thoroughly. We were especially impressed with how gentle and patient she was, and our baby seemed to really like her as well. We're 100% satisfied with the care she provided and look forward to seeing her again.

Dr.Bale is my favorite pediatrician at the University of Utah Hospital. I am a first time mom and my baby is 3 months old. Dr.Bale was one of the doctors who were taking care of my baby right after she was born. As soon as I talked with her, I wanted her to be my baby's doctor. It's a quite an adjustment to welcome a baby into our lives and we are learning new things about her and about ourselves everyday. Every time I have questions regarding my baby's health and development, she answers all of them with care. She listens and validates my feelings and worries. She always recommends very good advices and all of them worked for our family. I highly recommend her anyone who is looking for a new provider.
