ALL STAR PEDIATRICS, P.C

What ALL STAR PEDIATRICS, P.C does

All Star Pediatrics, P.C. is a private pediatric medical practice headquartered at 6410 Joliet Road, Suite 201, Countryside, Illinois, serving families in the western suburbs of Chicago. Founded in the 1970s, the practice is staffed by five pediatricians (Dr. Laura Laskonis, Dr. Melanie Lachman, Dr. Jessica Wyka, Dr. Jessica Starck, and Dr. Matthew Root) supported by nurses, a lactation consultant, and front office personnel, with a total headcount of approximately nine. The practice delivers the full spectrum of pediatric primary care from birth through college age: newborn care, well-child visits following Bright Futures guidelines, sick visits with same-day availability, chronic illness management (asthma, ADHD, anxiety, depression), behavioral health, lactation consulting, and select add-on services such as medical ear piercing.

The practice is built on a standard small-clinic technology stack. Practice management, scheduling, secure messaging, and the patient portal are provided by Office Practicum (Connexin Software, Inc.), and bill payment is processed through InstaMed. A telehealth platform supports virtual visits for established patients, and on-site clinical equipment includes ocular photoscreening for vision detection and spirometry for asthma management. The revenue model is primarily insurance-billed fee-for-service across standard pediatric CPT-coded visits, supplemented by a small cash-pay stream from medical ear piercing ($100 flat fee for both ears) and potential lactation consulting fees. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, driven by multi-generational word-of-mouth referrals, Google reviews, and an active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and X.
