Hi, I’m Dr. Sarah Slater, DNP—mom of two and founder of Balanced Kids.

​

I created this practice because I was frustrated with a healthcare system that no longer works for families or clinicians. In large systems, providers don’t get the time to treat patients like humans, patients feel rushed and dissatisfied, and prices keep climbing—all while patient health outcomes continue to dwindle. Eventually, I realized I couldn’t continue in a system where everyone is replaceable and families weren’t getting the care they deserved.

​

Balanced Kids is my attempt to create a better health model. I built a concierge pediatric practice that puts families—not institutions—at the center. By bringing care directly to you, we make pediatric health simple, transparent, and grounded in real connection.

​

With 15+ years of experience in academic and community pediatrics, I combine evidence-based medicine with integrative, whole-family wellness. My mission is simple: to offer truly family-centered care that respects your time, honors your values, and supports your child’s health in the most natural, human way possible.
