Dr. Sarah Slater, DNP, APRN, CPNP-PC
Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Slater, DNP, mom of two, and founder of Balanced Kids.
​
I started this concierge pediatric practice because families deserve accessible, high-quality care without the stress of traditional clinics. Too often, parents struggle to fit appointments into busy schedules—or worry about disrupting a child who thrives on routine. Balanced Kids brings care directly to you, making pediatric health simple, flexible, and family-centered.
​
With 15+ years of experience in both top academic hospitals and community care, I’ve seen firsthand how connection and whole-family wellness often get lost in large health systems. As a parent, I understand the struggle of juggling appointments and family life, which fueled my passion to create a more balanced way to care for kids.
​
At Balanced Kids, I offer personalized, integrative care that goes beyond checkboxes—supporting children with evidence-based pediatrics, nutrition, movement, and natural wellness tools. My mission is simple: to make pediatric care more human, more natural, and more balanced for Minnesota families.
