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 Motrin can only be given at or after the age of 6 months. For Zyrtec, see this dosage guide.

Fall sports are approaching, and it's a good time to make sure young athletes are ready for a safe and healthy season. 🏈⚽
A sports physical can help identify health concerns that could affect your child’s ability to participate safely in sports. It’s also an opportunity to discuss medical history, previous injuries, medications, and other health concerns with your pediatrician. 📋
Ideally, sports physicals should be completed well before the season begins so there’s time to address any concerns that may come up.

As a reminder for the school season, your child’s backpack should never weigh more than 10-20% of their body weight. To avoid straining your child’s muscles, it's also important to choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder straps and a padded back. Make sure to also pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. 🎒
