THE PRACTICE

Ballard Neighborhood Doctors has been offering unique relationship-based family medicine since 2007. Drs. Bell and Weakland have fused traditional Western and naturopathic care to offer the highest quality medical care, individualized to your needs. We work respectfully together to become a place you trust--a true medical home.

​

We provide the same high quality of care to all patients regardless of their ability to pay. We accept private and state insurance and Medicare, and have a sliding scale for those who don't have insurance.

​

Our practice is based on a low overhead model that allows for longer visits with patients and more personalized care. By keeping staffing costs low we have more time for you. This means that typically in the office you only see Drs. Bell and Weakland. We have part-time staff who help us with all of the many insurance issues, patient logistics and our medical billing.

​

You can reach us during our business hours via phone or portal.

​

For current patients in need of after hours help, please call the regular office phone for information on how to contact the physician on call.

​

New patients can establish themselves at info@ballarddocs.com.
