Contacts --Dr. Natali Balog loves a good mystery. That’s the reason her specialty fits her personality so well. While there are certain signs, symptoms and lab results that may lead her to a specific diagnosis, there are more than one hundred rheumatic disorders. She doesn’t treat the lab report, either; she treats the patient.
“Like any good detective, it’s about putting together all the clues, including family history and other ailments, to arrive at a diagnosis. Only then can you determine the appropriate course of treatment,” said Dr. Balog, who was born and raised in South Bend. “The detective work makes every day interesting. You have to enjoy your work to go do it every day. That, and I’ve always known I wanted to be a physician.”
Rheumatology requires a team approach since most diseases Dr. Balog treats involve the whole body. “My ability to collaborate with other physicians and specialties is very important,” she said. “There’s no way I can carry out alone what needs to be done for any one patient. Teamwork is essential.”
Dr. Balog establishes long-lasting relationships with patients because so many rheumatic disorders and diseases are chronic. “Sometimes you don’t need my constant supervision, but many patients are regulars,” she said. “We get to know about their jobs, hobbies and kids, and about their trials and tribulations. They become more than patients. These relationships make my work very rewarding.”
Her mom is to thank for teaching her the importance of treating patients like family. “My patients have taught me that we only have one life to live,” Dr. Balog said. “Although we feel invincible, as the human body is extraordinarily forgiving, we are still vulnerable, and in some ways, fragile. Treasure life each and every day.”
