A 25th Anniversary to Remember!

The years have flown by!

Our 25th Anniversary is a time for reflection and celebration. The years have passed quickly. Our children are now young adults. Patriot Pediatrics has grown to a group of 22 professionals and has served over 75,000 patients. Now and as ever---even during a worldwide pandemic---we are enthusiastic about our patients, our practice, and our future.

We founded Patriot Pediatrics in 1995. Francine, the mother of two boys under the age of five, and Mitch, the father of a one year old with another on the way. Francine completed her residency in pediatrics at Tufts Medical Center and a fellowship in adolescent medicine at Children’s Hospital. Mitch had completed his pediatric residency at the New York Hospital--Cornell Medical Center and a fellowship in medical informatics at Mass General. We met while working at another practice in Lexington. We were both attracted to the Lexington-Bedford area for our practice and our families because of the strong community values, superlative schools, and world class hospitals.

We know there is no greater measure of faith than for parents to entrust us with the healthcare of their children. We are grateful for that trust and strive every day to earn that privilege anew. We take pleasure in seeing our patients grow and ‘graduate‘ to adulthood and we are particularly proud that so many return to us as parents of our new patients.

Simultaneously, we are refreshed and reinvigorated by welcoming new families to the practice and new providers to serve them. We are grateful to have been honored with your votes resulting in Patriot Pediatrics’ selection as the #1 Choice for Pediatrics in Bedford for over 10 years and as a Regional Favorite in Wicked Local’s 2020 Reader’s Choice Awards again this year. At Patriot Pediatrics our guiding values include Compassion for children and families; Providing World Class healthcare; Innovation; and Integrity.

Today, as 25 years ago, it is an honor and a joy to go to Patriot Pediatrics each day to see infants, children, adolescents and young adults; to listen to their stories as well as their hearts; and to collaborate with our clinical colleagues, including Jacqueline Chambers, MD, Christine Larsen NP, Sheila Lewis NP and Jesse Zaitchik NP as well as with our outstanding staff. We are all dedicated to helping well children stay that way, and to providing the care that helps those who are ill to summon the resilience that is characteristic of children to become healthy again. Thank you again for the privilege of allowing us to care for your families. We look forward to many healthy years ahead!

Warmly,

Francine Hennessey and Mitch Feldman
