Pediatric Care Associates

What Pediatric Care Associates does

Pediatric Care Associates is an independent, physician-owned pediatric medical practice operating two office locations in Hoffman Estates and Algonquin, Illinois, serving the northwest suburban Chicago market. The practice provides comprehensive primary and specialty pediatric care to patients from birth through age 21, including well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, physicals, newborn care, prenatal consultations, developmental evaluations, behavioral health (including ADHD), sports injury care, adolescent care, and travel medicine. The clinical team consists of four board-certified pediatricians (Drs. Robert Boton, Catherine Fitzpatrick, Ryan McCoy, and Preeti Mirchandani, all Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics) and one certified pediatric nurse practitioner with lactation consulting expertise (Mary Mortlock). Each physician joined the practice between 1989 and 2005, reflecting long-tenured clinical continuity.

The practice operates on a fee-for-service professional services revenue model, billing insurance carriers (including PPO and select HMO plans) and collecting patient copayments and deductibles at the time of service, with no subscription, capitation, or alternative payment arrangements disclosed. Patient acquisition is primarily referral-driven through hospital affiliations and community reputation, supported by a content marketing website with a pediatric health blog and SEO optimization for local search. The practice maintains admitting privileges at three regional health systems (Advocate Lutheran General Children's Hospital in Park Ridge, Amita St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates, and Advocate Sherman Hospital in Elgin), enabling continuity of care when hospitalization is required.

Pediatric Care Associates uses standard pediatric medical technologies and procedures with no proprietary technology platform, API, software product, or digital health offering. Operating as a private, for-profit entity with 1-10 employees and no external investors, parent company, or subsidiary, the business functions as a traditional independent medical practice with professional services as its sole revenue stream and a horizontal, persona-based customer segment of families with children in its service area.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• CVS MinuteClinic (pediatric services): Retail-based walk-in clinic offering pediatric sick visits, sports physicals, and vaccinations. Not a direct competitor for well-child or longitudinal care, but increasingly captures acute-visit volume from independent pediatric practices like PCA, particularly in suburban strip malls.

Direct peers

• DuPage Medical Group Pediatrics: Large multi-specialty physician group in Chicago's western and northwestern suburbs with a significant pediatric primary care division. Closest direct peer—same suburban Chicago geography, similar well-child/sick-visit model, but with substantially greater scale, technology infrastructure, and payer leverage.
• Children's Medical Group: Multi-physician independent pediatric primary care group in the Chicago suburbs. Highly comparable as an independent community pediatric practice offering well-child care, sick visits, behavioral health, and developmental services with similar physician-owned operating model.
• Kids First Pediatric Partners: Independent pediatric primary care practice in suburban Chicago offering well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, and behavioral/developmental services. Direct peer by service mix, scale, and physician-owned independent model.
• Pediatric Health Associates: Independent multi-physician pediatric practice serving Chicago's western suburbs with a comparable menu of well-child, sick-visit, immunization, and behavioral health services. Direct peer in business model and scale, but operates in a different sub-region of the metro.

Broad incumbents

• Northwestern Medicine Pediatrics: Academic health system extending employed pediatric primary care into the Chicago suburbs. Comparable target market (suburban families seeking pediatric services) and offers integrated specialty referral that could draw patients away from independent practices like PCA.
• Lurie Children's Hospital: Major Chicago-area children's hospital with affiliated primary and specialty pediatric care. Comparable because it competes for the same suburban Chicago pediatric patient base and offers the same tertiary referral pathways that PCA accesses through Advocate.
• Advocate Children's Hospital: The regional children's hospital system where Pediatric Care Associates physicians hold admitting privileges. A large, multi-specialty pediatric provider in the Chicago market that competes for primary-care patients through its own employed pediatricians while also serving as a referral destination.
• Amita Health/Alexian Brothers Women & Children's Hospital: Local hospital affiliate whose pediatric hospital is blocks from PCA's Hoffman Estates office. Competes indirectly by employing pediatricians within its owned medical group and serves as both a referral source for PCA physicians and a potential competitor for community pediatric patients.
• NorthShore Pediatrics (NorthShore University HealthSystem): Suburban Chicago health system with employed pediatric primary care practices. Directly competes for community pediatric patients in the north/northwest suburbs using integrated EHRs and same-day sick-visit models that PCA lacks.
