Finally, a holistic pediatrician who comes to you.
In-home and virtual pediatric care for families - based in Prior lake, serving families across the Twin Cities Metro. Unrushed visits, no waiting rooms, and a provider who remembers your child's name, your last conversation, and the questions you forgot to ask.
Based in Prior Lake. Serving the Twin Cities Metros in-home. Virtual care statewide.
That's why I built Balanced Kids. I bring pediatric care directly to your home, so your sick child can rest on the couch instead of a waiting room bench. I take the time to know your child, not just their chart. And I offer transparent pricing, so you always know what care costs before you pay for it.
It wasn't built with providers in mind either.
If you've sat in a crowded waiting room with a feverish toddler, walked out of a rushed appointment with more questions than answers, or opened a surprise lab bill weeks after a visit, you already know the traditional healthcare model wasn't built with your family in mind.
Built by a pediatric nurse practitioner who was tired of the ten-minute visit too
Less waiting. More listening. Real care, built around your family.
MEET YOUR PEDIATRIC PROVIDER
Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah
I'm a certified pediatric nurse practitioner with fifteen years of experience caring for children. I'm also a mom, which means I've sat on both sides of the exam table, and I've felt firsthand how often the traditional healthcare system gets in the way of the care families actually deserve.
That's the reason Balanced Kids exists. Here, I get to practice medicine the way I always believed it should be done. Slowly. Thoughtfully. In partnership with the families I serve.
I bring advanced training in integrative and holistic care alongside my conventional pediatric expertise, so I can look at your child's whole health. Not just one symptom at a time.
FROM A BALANCED KIDS FAMILY
Jordyn
"You would be so lucky to have Dr. Sarah. We were so frustrated trying to get our kids care until we found her. We are so grateful." —
Victoria B
"What stood out most was her calm, kind, and genuinely caring approach. She explained what was happening, walked me through next steps, and made sure I felt confident in how to care for my daughter after the visit." —
Ann G
"The exam was thorough and she made my kiddo feel at ease. Highly recommend and we will definitely use Balanced kids in the future!" —
FIRST-DOSE MEDICATIONS ON HAND
For common needs like antibiotics, steroids, and eye drops, I carry medications so treatment can start right away. No rushed pharmacy trips, no delays.
ON-THE-SPOT TESTING
Rapid testing in your kitchen for flu, COVID, RSV, strep, and more. Answers in minutes, so treatment decisions happen in real time.
DIRECT ACCESS TO ME
Call or text when questions come up. Big or small. Between visits, I'm still your child's provider, not a phone tree.
A PEDIATRIC EXPERT AT YOUR DOOR
Fifteen years of pediatric experience, plus advanced training in integrative and holistic care. Your child gets a provider who sees the whole picture, not just the presenting symptom.
SAME OR NEXT-DAY APPOINTMENTS
When your child needs care, you shouldn't have to wait a week to get it. Most families are seen same-day or next-day, right in their home.
MEMBERSHIP THAT MAKES SENSE
Flat monthly pricing, often more cost-effective than traditional copays and deductibles, with no surprise bills after the fact.
WHY FAMILIES MAKE THE SWITCH
Everything you've been wishing holistic pediatric care included
Every visit with Balanced Kids was designed around what families actually need, and what the system too often fails to deliver.
