Trusted Doctors

What Trusted Doctors does

Trusted Doctors is a private pediatric medical group operating under Trusted Doctors LLC, headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. Founded circa 1973, the company unifies 25+ affiliated pediatric practices across Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC under a single organizational umbrella, serving families from infancy through young adulthood. The core service is pediatric primary care, complemented by two integrated sub-products: Hello Pediatrics, an after-hours telehealth service available weeknights until midnight, weekends, and holidays with 24/7 phone triage; and Trusted Behavioral Health, which provides therapy and counseling for children, adolescents, and families using modalities such as CBT and DBT. The group accepts a broad range of insurance plans including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Tricare, and multiple Medicaid MCOs across its three operating jurisdictions.

The business model is fee-for-service healthcare revenue billed through insurance carriers, with patients responsible for co-pays at the time of service. Trusted Doctors does not operate a proprietary technology platform; instead, it relies on a fragmented set of third-party tools — healow, Intelichart, InstaMed, CardPointe, and Phreesia — for patient portals, billing, and intake across the individual practices. Individual practice brands (e.g., Fairfax Pediatric Associates, Annapolis Pediatrics, The Kidz Docs) have been retained post-acquisition, suggesting a federation model where the parent entity provides shared services, contracting, and growth capital while practices retain local identity.

Strategic positioning rests on three pillars: (1) NCQA Patient Centered Medical Home recognition across the network, signaling care coordination quality; (2) regional brand strength with physicians consistently named Top Doctors in Washingtonian Magazine, Northern Virginia Magazine, and Washington Consumers' Checkbook; and (3) integrated service-line extension into behavioral health and telehealth, capturing more of the pediatric care continuum. Leadership includes CEO Sandy Chung. The company appears physician- or management-led with no disclosed private equity backing or institutional investment.
