We care for your family, day and night.
We understand that children’s illnesses and injuries don’t always happen during office hours. That’s why we offer multiple after-hours care options designed to help your family receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time—whether that means home care guidance, a telehealth visit, an urgent office appointment, or emergency care.
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.

To help your kids get enough sleep, encourage consistent bedtime routines, healthy sleep habits, and limiting screen use before sleeping. Learn more here. 👇

It is recommended that kids and teens get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day. But it doesn't have to be all at once! There are many fun ways for children to stay active throughout the day. Taking walks, dancing, playing sports, and bike riding are some of the ways for kids to keep their bodies moving. These activities can add up over the course of a day. 🏃♂️

If your child is struggling at school because of a disability or developmental difference, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) can help make sure they receive the support they need. 🎒📚
An IEP is a written education plan developed with families and the school that outlines the child’s learning needs, goals, and the special education services and supports they will receive.
If you need an IEP, we can help by providing information about your child’s health, development, and how their needs may affect learning. You can learn more about IEPs and how to advocate for your child through the guide here. 👇
