Atlanta Children's Clinical Center

What Atlanta Children's Clinical Center does

Atlanta Children's Clinical Center, PC (ACCC) is a private pediatric medical practice operating from a single office in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1991, the practice provides comprehensive primary care for children from birth through age 21, including well-child check-ups, immunizations, developmental and behavioral screenings (including ADHD and autism), school and sports physicals, and acute illness treatment. The practice is staffed by three board-certified pediatricians — Dr. Reshma R. Chugani (joined 2001), Dr. Megan Ference (joined 2018), and Dr. Joy A. Maxey — supported by pediatric nurses, medical assistants, and administrative staff.

The practice operates a fee-for-service model, billing most major commercial insurance plans (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia, Cigna, Coventry, Humana, PHCS, United Healthcare) and accepting self-pay patients with cash discounts, while excluding Medicaid, Medicare, and several managed care plans. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, supported by same-day sick appointments, Saturday morning hours, a daytime nurse triage line, and 24/7 on-call physician coverage. Telemedicine is delivered through the Doxy.me platform, and patients access records, messaging, and bill payment through Medfusion and CollectCheckout integrations.

ACCC has long-standing clinical affiliations with Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (hospital privileges and inpatient coordination) and Emory University School of Medicine (clinical faculty appointments), as well as mental health training credentials from The Reach Institute. On April 22, 2026 the practice announced that it will become part of Children's Medical Group effective May 1, 2026, ending its independent operating posture.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Pediatric Associates: One of the largest independent pediatric primary care groups in the U.S., with locations across multiple states. Comparable as a scaled physician-led pediatric practice, though operating in different geographies.
• Children's Health (Children's Medical Center): Large pediatric health system with extensive primary care and specialty footprint. Broadly comparable as a scaled pediatric care provider, though operating in a different geography.
• Children's Healthcare of Atlanta: Dominant pediatric health system in metro Atlanta with hospital-based services and an employed primary care network. ACCC physicians have active staff privileges at CHOA, and CHOA represents both the dominant referral partner and a structural competitive threat via its employed pediatricians.

Direct peers

• Sandy Springs Pediatrics: Independent pediatric primary care office in the Sandy Springs/Buckhead orbit of metro Atlanta. Directly comparable in affluence positioning, service scope, and small-independent practice model.
• Children's Medical Group: The Atlanta-area pediatric group acquiring ACCC effective 5/1/26. Operates multiple pediatric primary care locations across metro Atlanta with comparable well-child, sick visit, and immunization services — directly comparable in service mix and target demographic.
• Kennesaw Pediatrics: Established independent pediatric practice in the northwest Atlanta metro area offering comprehensive primary care. Comparable in size, service mix, and independent-physician model to ACCC.
• Peachtree Pediatrics: Independent Atlanta pediatric primary care practice offering well-child visits, sick care, and developmental screenings to Buckhead/metro Atlanta families. Closest direct competitor in ACCC's immediate geographic market with similar physician-led, small-practice model.
• North Atlanta Pediatrics: Multi-physician pediatric primary care practice serving north Atlanta suburbs. Directly comparable in service offering (well-child, sick visits, immunizations) and target demographic of affluent metro Atlanta families.
• Dunwoody Pediatrics: Independent pediatric primary care practice in the Dunwoody/north Atlanta area. Directly comparable service mix (well-child, sick visits, immunizations) and demographic targeting of suburban Atlanta families.

Others

• American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP): Not a peer in the commercial sense, but the professional society that all three ACCC physicians are fellows of (FAAP), sets the clinical guidelines ACCC follows, and provides the credentialing standards that frame ACCC's market positioning.
