How to become my patient

How to schedule

Currently accepting new patients ages 18 and up, in person in Duluth and by telehealth for patients located in Minnesota. Most major insurance plans are accepted, including Medicare and Medical Assistance. To schedule, call Lakeview Behavioral Health at 218-327-2001 or visit lakeviewbh.com/intake/ and ask to see Dr. Baldes.

Lakeview handles scheduling, insurance, and cost, so they’re the best source for current details, including new-patient availability.

Where I see patients

Being in Minnesota for your visit

I’m licensed to practice medicine in Minnesota, so for any visit, you need to be physically located in Minnesota at the time of the visit. Lakeview can tell you which visit options are available.

Before your first visit

Lakeview’s intake forms are online at lakeviewbh.com/intake. Filling them out ahead of time can free up your first appointment for conversation, and you’re free to share only what you’re comfortable sharing.

It also helps to gather your current medications and doses, past treatments and how they went, and your questions. See What a first visit is like, including tips for your intake forms.
