Welcome!!!
After ten years of hard work in an independent home-based practice, I am moving into an office in 2023, 3 days a week. The new office is a bright and welcoming space in Malden, half a mile from two orange line stations, directly on a bus line and with plenty of parking for those of you who will be driving in. Big siblings are always welcome and we love our helpers. So bring them as well! We will make sure they feel included.
Home-visits will be available on a limited basis (once or twice a week) to patients on the North Shore, in Somerville/Medford and patients within a 20 minute radius of Malden who do not own a car or have mobility issues due to a difficult birth/infant’s medical condition. Please note that, due to limited availability, you will more than likely have to wait longer for a home visit than you would for an office visit. If you are interested in a home visit, please email us first so we can tell you our availability: info@thebalc.com
We are also opening a clinic for our low income families and will be starting our pilot year in April 2023! Read all about it here!
