Every year Texas Monthly publishes much-anticipated reviews of some of the states best medical legal and community leaders based on a strict and independent research process that identifies Texans who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement.
Dr. Larry Balli one of the areas most influential dentists has long enjoyed a stellar reputation in Edinburg. Late last year he was bestowed the coveted honor of Super Dentist by Texas Monthly a major statewide magazine with a national following.
Now comes news that his professional and civic contributions to the region have earned him praise from Gov. Rick Perry and the Texas Legislature which have approved a legislative resolution publicly recognizing him for his efforts in the Lone Star State.
Larry N. Balli D.D.S. a native of Mission and a longtime resident of
Edinburg exemplifies the highest standards of his profession with his practice located in Edinburg and with his extensive public service to his community and to South Texas Perry noted in the resolution which bears the governors signature.
Balli with his wife and business partner Norma Garza Balli along with their children daughter Nicole Balli Little and Brandon Balli reflect positively on the thousands of Rio Grande Valley families who have helped shape Texas into the greatest state in the nation Perry added.
Balli for his part says he was humbled by the lofty recognition and grateful to his colleagues who praised his professional skills.
Dental care is a vital part of protecting overall general health and we are all part of the same team said Balli. I am honored by these unsolicited recognitions but they are ones which I fully share with my fellow colleagues in the Valley and especially with my outstanding staff and wonderful family.
Balli noted that another Edinburg dental professional Dr. David Adame was also named a Super Dentist by Texas Monthly.
All of the dental professionals in our area are dedicated to their patients and we all share our professional experiences ideas and insights on behalf of this wonderful community Balli said.
Ballis achievements were duly noted in the legislative resolution which also bear the signatures of Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst Speaker of the House Joe Straus Rep. Aaron Pea D-Edinburg the author of the resolution and Sen. Juan Chuy Hinojosa D-McAllen the Senate sponsor of the measure.
This latest public recognition comes as Larry Balli and his wife Norma an Edinburg native along with the rest of their family many relatives and friends in June marked the 24th anniversary of his dental practice which is located at 1123 South 10th Avenue in the three-time All-America City.
Dr. Balli has demonstrated his leadership in many ways not only in his profession but also in considerable public service on behalf of his fellow Texans including serving or having served as president of the Edinburg Chamber of Commerce president of the Rio Grande Valley Dental Society chairman of the Board of Governors for Edinburg Regional Medical Center member of the Board of Directors of the Edinburg Economic Development Corporation member of the Board of Directors of Edinburg General Hospital member of the Board of Directors for Dentists Who Care which provides free dental services to children from low-income families and as a Eucharistic Minister for 10 years for St. Josephs Catholic Church in Edinburg Pea noted.
Hinojosa noted that Ballis involvement in providing expert health care to the region includes his prior professional service as a pharmacist for seven years before deciding to expand his professional health and medical skills by enrolling at and graduating from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio with a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.).
Dr. Balli as part of his life-long dedication to continuously remaining abreast of the latest advances in dental care is also an alumni of the prestigious The Pankey Institute a world-class organization where dentists can fully immerse themselves in hands-on courses and discussions that lead to mastering advanced technical skills improving behavioral skills and nurturing a positive philosophy towards life and practice the state senator added.
The legislative proclamation affirmed that Balli has met and surpassed the high standards required by the profession in which he excels.
According to the American Dental Association the dental profession holds a special position of trust within society. As a consequence society affords the profession certain privileges that are not available to members of the public-at-large. In return the profession makes a commitment to society that its members will adhere to high ethical standards of conduct.
