She is amazing! And absolutely wonderful pediatrician. My daughter, 6 months old, loves her and enjoys visiting the doctor. I feel like Dr. Bale remembers us each visit and I hope that she will be our daughters pediatrician for life
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.
Dr. Bale has been very kind and empathetic with my family. She explains things very clearly and it shows that she loves caring for babies and children
