How It Works
Jellybean Pediatrics is a direct primary care pediatric practice built around thoughtful, relationship-based care.
​
You have direct access to your child’s pediatrician, Dr. Lauren Beene, with care provided through telemedicine, phone, and home visits when clinically appropriate.
How care is delivered
Care may take place at home, virtually, or by phone depending on the clinical situation.
Telemedicine &
Phone care
Many concerns can be handled remotely, allowing families to get guidance quickly without unnecessary trips.
House
Calls
When an in-person visit is needed, care is provided in the home, where children are often more comfortable and visits can be more thorough.
Membership & Access
Jellybean Pediatrics operates on a monthly membership rather than billing insurance for each visit.
​
This allows for longer visits, direct communication, and a smaller patient panel so care can be more personalized.
Families can reach out when concerns arise.
Calls are typically returned the same day, and texts are usually answered the same day or next business day.
​
Some concerns can be handled through messaging, while others may lead to a visit.
​
For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
