We are your neighborhood pediatric health care team.
Sound Beach Pediatrics would be honored to be your child’s healthcare provider. We strive to form a close partnership between our physicians, staff, patients and families. We take a collaborative and evidence-based approach to your child’s healthcare.
We are a vaccinating practice.
Vaccines have become a hot topic recently. Sound Beach Pediatrics has always been a vaccinating practice. Our vaccination policy — and our commitment to minimize risk of vaccine preventable disease in our community — remains unchanged.
We are committed to health, family, and community.
Choosing a pediatrician for your child is an important decision. It is crucial that your pediatrician’s philosophy on health and wellness aligns closely with that of your family.
We accept most insurance plans.
Because each insurance policy is different, it is important to contact your insurance company if you have any questions regarding your benefits, and to know what your payment obligations will be at the time of service.
Online resources you can trust.
Our A to Z Resource Guide provides you with reliable online resources, recommended reading, and helpful tools to guide you in caring for your child.
Take the “pain” out of pain reliever dosing.
Be confident that you are treating your child’s pain or fever with the correct dose of medication. We can guide you here on how much Motrin or Tylenol to give, based on your child’s weight. (Benadryl too!) Motrin can only be given at or after the age of 6 months.

North Side Expansion Coming Soon!
Tue, Sep 30, 2025
The excitement is building over our expanding office space, as Sound Beach Pediatrics responds to the growing needs of our community.
Today we kicked off ☕️ Coffee & Conversation with Dr. Lori with a fantastic first topic: “Tiny Humans. Big Emotions.”
Dr. Lori joined Dr. Katy and a wonderful group of parents in our conference room, coffee in hand, to talk about one of the biggest challenges of parenting young children: those moments of dysregulation (aka when “the wheels come off the bus” 🚌💥).
A key takeaway? These moments are often just the tip of the iceberg. Dr. Lori encouraged parents to pause and look beneath the surface to understand the “why” behind the behavior.
She shared three simple but powerful principles:
1️⃣ Stay calm (hard—but essential)
2️⃣ “Name it to tame it”—help your child put words to their feelings
3️⃣ Validate the feeling, gently coach the behavior
Waiting for the right time to talk is key- not in the 🔥 of the moment! Wisdom, connection, and reassurance in one cozy conversation.💙 Thank you Dr. Lori!
More to come and we can’t wait for the next one in March😊

It's not uncommon for kids to push back on accommodations they may need in school. Many of them fear looking different, worry about what their peers will think, or don't understand how their accommodations can help. Here's a guide sharing 9 reasons kids might refuse accommodations and what you can do to help.
"Kids who learn and think differently are used to school being difficult. Once they have accommodations in place that work well, they may start doing better. And that can be confusing. It might feel like the accommodation is doing the work for them, which can feel wrong. They may not yet understand that the accommodation is a tool that helps them show knowledge or get their work done."
