Upper Valley Pediatrics

What Upper Valley Pediatrics does

Upper Valley Pediatrics PLLC is a private, independently-owned pediatric medical practice serving infants, children, and adolescents (new patients birth to age 18, established patients through age 26) in Orange County, Vermont and West Lebanon, New Hampshire. The practice operates as a Patient Centered Medical Home, delivering comprehensive primary care that includes well-child visits, same-day sick appointments, behavioral health counseling, developmental screenings, immunizations, lactation support, chronic condition management (asthma, ADHD, allergies), nutrition/weight management, and adolescent care. Owned by Dr. Rebecca L. Yukica, DO — who took over from founder Mark Harris, MD — the practice runs two office locations: a main office in Bradford, VT (331 Upper Plain, Suite 1) and a newer clinic in West Lebanon, NH (1 Oak Ridge Road, Suite 1B) opened September 4, 2025 after closing its East Thetford location. Care is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team including Dr. Yukica, family and pediatric nurse practitioners (Jennifer Olsen, Gwynne Briggs, Catherine Martin), a behavioral health counselor (Sara Ecker), and a registered dietitian (Ariana Haidari).

The practice's underlying technology is a conventional healthcare SaaS stack rather than a proprietary platform. Clinical and patient-engagement functions are handled by third-party systems: PCC's "My Kid's Chart" provides the 24/7 patient portal for records access, messaging, and (as of December 2025) self-scheduling; Doxy.me powers HIPAA-compliant telemedicine visits for refills, behavioral health, and follow-ups; and pymt.pro processes online credit card payments (launched June 2026). An interactive medication dosage calculator for acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and diphenhydramine is published on the website. Community-facing programs include annual drive-thru flu clinics open to the public. No AI, machine learning, or proprietary model capabilities are referenced.

The business model is a fee-for-service pediatric practice generating revenue primarily through insurance claims across 18 contracted plans (Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, Harvard Pilgrim, MVP, Tricare, and VT/NH Medicaid among them) plus a self-pay track offering a 20% time-of-service discount. Revenue streams include office visits, telemedicine visits, behavioral health services, and online payments; co-pays are collected at point of service, with balance billing for non-covered amounts and 120-day-past-due balances forwarded to collections. Patient acquisition is community-led via referrals from Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Cottage Hospital, local schools, and existing families, supported by a Facebook presence and word-of-mouth in the Upper Valley region.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Blueberry Pediatrics: Virtual-first pediatric care company offering on-demand telemedicine, behavioral health, and chronic condition management; competes for Upper Valley families who prefer remote access and pressure UVP's telemedicine economics.
• Pomelo Care: Virtual-first maternal and pediatric care provider offering integrated behavioral health and chronic condition management via telemedicine; overlaps with UVP's pediatric and behavioral health offerings from a digital-first angle.

Direct peers

• PM Pediatric Care: Nation's largest specialized pediatric urgent care network offering same-day sick visits, after-hours access, and telemedicine; closely mirrors Upper Valley Pediatrics' same-day and 24/7 access positioning, but at much larger scale.
• Urgent Care for Kids: Pediatric-focused urgent care chain offering same-day sick visits, after-hours access, and minor procedures; comparable as a pediatric-specific access-driven care model competing for the same acute-visit demand.
• Allied Physicians Group: Multi-site pediatric and family medicine group in the Northeast offering primary care, behavioral health integration, and patient portal access; comparable as a community pediatric group with embedded specialty services.
• Pediatric Associates: Large multi-location pediatric primary care group operating across multiple U.S. states with a similar service mix (well-child, sick visits, behavioral, chronic condition management), making it a directly comparable multi-site pediatric practice.

Regional players

• Connecticut Children's: Regional pediatric health system serving New England with primary care and specialty services; comparable in clinical scope (pediatric primary care, behavioral, telemedicine) but operates at health-system scale across a different geography.

Broad incumbents

• Dartmouth-Hitchcock Children's: Pediatric primary and specialty care arm of Dartmouth Health serving the same Upper Valley region; competes with UVP for general pediatric patients while serving as a tertiary referral partner, making it both peer and channel.
