Dr. Rhonda Schafer-McLean MD, PhD, FACOG

Meet Dr. Rhonda
Founder of Balance Medical and Bal Med Skin

If you’ve met Dr. Rhonda Schafer-McLean, you already know…she’s not your typical OB/GYN. With both an MD and a PhD, she brings serious medical expertise, but she delivers it with the kind of honesty and heart that makes you instantly feel at ease.

After years in traditional hospital systems, Dr. Rhonda decided women deserved something better. She built Balance Medical around a simple idea: care that’s smart, personal, and actually listens. The result? A space where modern medicine meets real connection…and where women finally feel seen.

She’s delivered thousands of babies, helped countless women find comfort through every stage of life, and built a reputation across North Dakota for being both wildly competent and wonderfully real.

Today, she leads a team that’s redefining women’s care…from surgery and menopause management to medical weight loss and aesthetics through Bal Med Skin. Because to Dr. Rhonda, feeling your best isn’t just about the numbers on a chart…it’s about confidence, vitality, and balance inside and out.

Her mission: to give women the kind of care she’d want for herself: honest, empowering, and built on trust.
