"I love being a physician but the demands of the job; the loaded schedules, limited time to spend with patients, the mounds of paperwork and long nights charting a day's work made it hard to balance career and family life. Medicine is a lifetime vocation but traditional practice takes more than commitment and passion. Learning about direct primary care is both career-changing and life-transforming!
Dr. Balauag received her medical degree in 2004 and trained at John F. Kennedy Medical Center in New Jersey where she was awarded "The Ideal Family Physician" of her class. She is board-certified in family medicine and has been practicing in Bothell for the last 6 years. When she is not in the clinic, she loves spending time with her family, cooking and exploring the world through travel."
