Center for Pediatric Medicine

What Center for Pediatric Medicine does

Center for Pediatric Medicine (CPM) is a private professional corporation that operates a multi-location community pediatric practice serving children, adolescents, and young adults from birth through age 21 in the Greater Danbury and New Fairfield, Connecticut market. Founded in 1992 and led by President Dr. Ana Paula Machado and co-partner Dr. Poonam Bherwani, the practice runs four clinical locations (three in Danbury and one in New Fairfield) plus a separate administrative and specialty suite in Danbury, supported by 17 board-certified physicians, APRNs, PAs, nutritionists, and lactation specialists. The practice operates 362 days per year with extended evening, weekend, and holiday hours, same-day sick visits, a 24/7 nurse triage line routed through Rainbow Babies, and telemedicine video visits.

The service portfolio spans core pediatric care (wellness visits, sick visits, seasonal flu clinics, school and sports physicals, vaccinations) and specialty offerings (lactation consulting, dietary and nutrition counseling, ADHD diagnosis and treatment, behavioral consultations, cholesterol management, concussion care). Technology infrastructure consists of the Office Practicum electronic medical records system, a secure patient portal, the Phreesia online bill payment platform, telemedicine video capabilities, and an in-house laboratory for rapid testing (strep, influenza, RSV, COVID, cholesterol, lead, hemoglobin, urinalysis). The practice is recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home by the NCQA and holds professional affiliations with the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Board of Pediatrics, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and Danbury Hospital.

The business model is fee-for-service pediatric care billed through insurance carriers and Medicaid, with co-payments collected at point of service, supplemental revenue from specialty services and ancillary in-house testing, and administrative fees for forms and missed co-payments. Distribution is regional and direct: families schedule via phone, the patient portal, or website, then access care across four physical locations or via telemedicine. In January 2024 the practice materially expanded by absorbing providers from Childcare Associates and opening a new Sand Pit Road clinic, growing its location footprint and clinician panel in a single transaction.
