Balboa Nephrology’s Hillcrest office has officially moved to Mission Valley.

Patients who were previously seen in Hillcrest can now visit us at:

Balboa Nephrology – Mission Valley
8885 Rio San Diego Drive
Suite 212
San Diego, CA 92123

Our Mission Valley location opened on June 1, 2026, and the same trusted Hillcrest physicians are now seeing patients there.

We know location changes can take a little getting used to, and we want to make this transition as smooth as possible for our patients and families.

We look forward to continuing to care for you in our new Mission Valley location.

High blood pressure can quietly affect your kidneys over time — even when you feel fine. Knowing your numbers and understanding your kidney function can make a meaningful difference. Learn how hypertension and kidney health are connected.

If you have high blood pressure, ask your primary care physician whether your kidney function should be checked — and whether seeing a nephrologist may be right for you.

Balboa Nephrology is proud to be part of something special happening in Chula Vista.

Our new building on Broadway was selected for the Envision Broadway mural project, and watching this come to life has been incredible. Artist Nolan Lee is transforming the space into something vibrant, meaningful, and rooted in community.

One of the highlights was the community paint day, where people had the chance to be part of the process — not just observe it.

We’re grateful to Nolan Lee, Envision Broadway, IPS South Bay, and the City of Chula Vista for bringing this project together and helping create something that reflects the energy and spirit of the neighborhood.

A powerful local story from Sharp Memorial Hospital highlights the life-saving impact of living kidney donation.

One employee donated her kidney to a coworker in need of a transplant, helping give her a second chance at life and a return to work after months of recovery. Stories like this matter because they help people understand that living donation is real, possible, and worth learning about.

Living donation is not the right path for everyone, but education can help patients and families ask better questions, understand their options, and have more informed conversations with their care team.
