about us

what makes us different?

At Compass, treating pain is personal.

We’ve all had family members, friends, or loved ones struggle to get the answers they need. Doctors are short on time, and often short on knowledge. We take care to listen to your concerns and use the most advanced diagnostics to find the right treatment for you.

Real Patient success stories

Here’s how our clients have experienced profound healing and personal growth through our services.

amanda bausk

I have back discomfort and wanted to try trigger point injections again. I had my first appointment with Dr. Balog and he was fantastic. He was very kind and detail oriented in gathering my medical history. The trigger point injections gave me relief and the process was easy. Everyone in the office was very friendly and the scheduling process was painless. I will be going back in the future for more injections. Definitely reccomend!

Jordan Schwartz

After a recent car accident, they’ve taken incredible care of me. The team is compassionate, professional, and truly focused on helping me manage and recover from my pain. I always feel heard and supported during each visit. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with injury-related pain or looking for a wellness-focused clinic that truly cares.

Leslie SLC

First visit left me with a game plan & 1st/2nd steps that totally made sense. (I felt all relevant info was gathered, and based on my layperson’s research, this plan was appropriately paced & outlined.) Very impressed by Dr Peterson, his PA and Office Mgr. All were generous with their time & answered my questions without rushing me.

Christi

Inviting, calm environment. Helpful staff. Incredibly patient, informative & empathetic doctor. I’m so excited to have been referred here & look forward to continuing my care with Compass Pain & Wellness!

Maribel Najar-Dobbins

I just walked out of my first appointment with Dr. Balog. Super impressed with his attention to detail he took the time to listen to my concerns and established a plan to move forward that made me feel heard. I completely recommend him! Staff is also amazing. This place is on it!

John Porter

WONDERFUL! KNOWLEDGEABLE! COMPASSIONATE! LIFE SAVERS! I will always be grateful for what this staff did for me. I was in so much intense pain when I came here. For the first time in over a year, I’m able to stand up straight and walk without cringing and moaning with every step. After my treatment, I was in tears of happiness. My neverending thanks and appreciation to all of you!

Abby Timmons

I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I was seen and how much the physical therapy and massage treatments actually helped with my shoulder pain. Everyone is knowledgeable and super nice!

Frankbackzek B

My initial consultation visit was a very good experience with the doctor and PA. I feel they were very thorough in their approach to beginning a diagnosis and very efficient in getting the program rolling. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

Dayna Craig

I had the best treatment and care that I have ever received for the pain I’ve been experiencing. Prior doctors I’ve been to have only treated symptoms, but never the root cause. The doctors here thoroughly went through my history, trying to discover the medical cause of my pains versus simply attempting to treat the symptoms. I cannot recommend enough.
