“...I find I can still make a difference in the lives of the women I see every day.”
Dr. Iphigenia Balodimos grew up always wanting to be a doctor. “My father was a physician and ever since I was four years old I would pretend I was a doctor with my dad,” she explains. “I come from a family of physicians and represent the third generation to enter medicine and become a doctor.”
Dr. Balodimos chose to practice in OB-Gyn because she likes doing a bit of everything. “During my residency I loved delivering babies and taking care of women throughout their lifespan. I don’t perform deliveries now but I find I can still make a difference in the lives of the women I see every day.”
In her practice Dr. Balodimos treats many different issues including abnormal bleeding, menopausal problems, abnormal pap smears, vulvar issues, pelvic pain and problems concerning sexual function. Dr. Balodimos loves the challenge of making a correct medical diagnosis. “I have actually developed several algorithms to help with diagnosing difficult problems and use them in my practice when I can.”
One of the things that Dr. Balodimos enjoys the most about Reliant Medical Group is that the patients always come first. “I love the fact that here I can take care of patients to not only meet the standard of care but have the support to actually exceed the standards that have been set.”
When she is not busy with patients Dr. Balodimos loves to travel as well as spend time with her pets. She presently has seven dogs, four of which she delivered herself. She is also involved in the Greek community in Boston as well as various charitable organizations.

I had a fantastic experience this last visit. Dr. Balodimos took the time to explain loop pathology with me, even drawing me a visual of the different levels. This was a procedure I had 15 years ago with a different doctor. No doctor has been aware enough to notice that it would have been helpful let alone take the time to educate me. It really shows her desire to make me part of my care. She didn't rush my questions, and I felt comfortable to ask questions. I brought up something as she was getting ready for the exam, and she paused and made more space for questions. I even thanked her for listening and talking and she commented about how important it is since this appointment is yearly - and she shared that she also feels the same way as a patient, it's important to make the time as it's an appointment you wait all year for. I appreciated her sharing this as it shows the values she holds dear and made me even appreciate having her as my doctor even more as it makes me more comfortable to work with her. We as patients are often just nervous to be there, let alone share observations about our bodies or topics that are vulnerable, so it's really really critical to have a safe and welcoming environment (once or twice a year) to engage in. THANK YOU.
