What Parker Place does

Parker Place is a privately held, physician-owned pediatric medical practice headquartered at 116 Defense Highway, Suite 403, Annapolis, Maryland, founded by board-certified pediatrician and pediatric endocrinologist Elizabeth A. Parker, MD in 2018. The practice operates a single physical location serving the greater Annapolis area and has welcomed approximately 600 families since its July 2018 grand opening. It delivers an integrated, multidisciplinary care model spanning pediatric endocrinology (thyroid, growth, puberty, diabetes), lifestyle medicine (nutrition, weight management, sleep, stress, exercise), behavioral and mental health counseling (children, teens, parents, and families), and pediatric occupational therapy (including feeding therapy), under one clinical roof. The team includes a second provider (Heide Ruegg, CPNP), a licensed clinical counselor (Dr. Kimberley Palmiotto, LCPC, Psy.D), occupational therapists, a managing director (Jennifer Reitmeyer), an office administrator, and front-desk staff, totaling approximately 6–10 members.

The practice generates revenue through insurance-based per-visit billing for medical and counseling services, supplemented by transactional fees for group programs (e.g., Tummy Time at $15 single/$40 series, Fun With Food at $75/session or $195 for 3 sessions, Kindergarten Readiness and Fine Motor Camp at $275 for 4 days, Lifestyle Leaders at $75 for 3 sessions), private office and meeting space rentals for independent healthcare practitioners (up to 40 people), and modest administrative fees ($25 standard, $50 expedited) for form and letter requests. Distribution occurs through in-person visits at the Annapolis office, browser-based telemedicine appointments, on-site community wellness programming at schools, camps, and child care centers across Anne Arundel County, and group classes offered both in-person and virtually.

Technology is limited to consumer- and SMB-grade tools: an athenahealth online patient portal for scheduling, refills, balance payment, and secure messaging; HIPAA-compliant text messaging for appointment, clinical, and refill communication; and browser-based video visits. The practice is a National Partner Practice of The Doctor Yum Project nonprofit, providing access to nutrition resources (Meal-o-Matic app, recipes, podcasts, webinars). Marketing relies on content (active blog, quarterly newsletter The Wellness Wire), organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), community outreach, and word-of-mouth referrals. There are no funding rounds, no institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no subsidiaries; ownership remains with the founder.
