Pediatric Associates of Charlottesville

What Pediatric Associates of Charlottesville does

Pediatric Associates of Charlottesville is an independent, physician-owned pediatric medical practice founded in July 1971 by Drs. Ray Ford, Vito Perriello, and Charlie Gleason. The practice provides comprehensive pediatric healthcare services for children from birth through adolescence and young adulthood across four office locations in the Charlottesville, Virginia region: a Downtown headquarters with an Adolescent Center, a North Office, a West Office in Ivy, and a Zion Crossroads office opened in 2018. Services span well-child visits, sick visits, vaccinations, newborn nursery coverage, adolescent medicine, mental health support, ADHD management, sports medicine, allergy testing and immunotherapy, travel medicine, and bilingual care for Spanish-speaking families.

The practice operates on a traditional fee-for-service healthcare billing model, collecting revenue through insurance reimbursement, Medicaid/FAMIS, and patient payments, supported by a 24/7 online patient portal and online bill pay via the Athelas platform. Clinical operations run on the eClinicalWorks electronic medical records system, with telemedicine visits added during the COVID-19 pandemic alongside drive-through flu clinics and restructured patient flow protocols. The practice is a member of Fortify Children's Health, a clinically integrated network linked to UVa Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters, and conducts pharmaceutical clinical trials via Pediatric Research of Charlottesville.

The business is structured as a private professional corporation with no parent company or institutional ownership, comprising 17 pediatricians (13 women, 4 men) plus nurse practitioners and support staff. The practice generates revenue through insurance-based billing across its four locations, with Medicaid accepted, and maintains adjunct community programs including Reach Out and Read, community food donation drives with Blueridge Area Food Bank and Louisa Community Cupboard, and physician participation in Haiti medical missions.
