LOCKMAN & LUBELL PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES, LLC

What LOCKMAN & LUBELL PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES, LLC does

LOCKMAN & LUBELL PEDIATRIC ASSOCIATES, LLC is a physician-led pediatric practice headquartered in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, serving children from birth through age 21 across Bucks, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties. The practice operates as a privately held LLC and is an affiliate member of the True North Pediatrics network, a multi-practice platform that provides operational and administrative support to community-based pediatric groups. Established roughly four decades ago, the practice delivers general pediatric care including well-child visits, sick visits, immunizations, and related primary-care services typical of a community pediatrician, with care delivered by a small clinical team of approximately 9 employees.

The practice generates revenue through fee-for-service billing to patients and third-party payers (commercial insurers and government programs) for in-person pediatric visits and ancillary services such as vaccinations. Its go-to-market is local and reputation-driven, anchored on long-tenured physician-patient relationships and multi-generational household trust rather than on marketing scale or enterprise sales motion. Patient access is supported by an online patient portal and an interactive Visual Symptom Checker on the practice website, which together provide digital scheduling, secure messaging, and self-service symptom guidance alongside the core in-person care offering.

In 2026 the practice announced the planned integration of Jefferson Medical Group affiliate pediatric practices into the True North Pediatrics network, indicating an inorganic consolidation pathway that could expand physician headcount and patient panel. Competitive positioning is that of a relationship-based community provider differentiated by continuity of care and multi-county convenience, rather than by technology, scale, or pricing aggressiveness. No proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capability, or recurring subscription revenue line is disclosed.
