I dont know what we would do without SBP! We have found a warm and welcoming, professional and personalized pediatrician in Dr. Katy. Together with Dr. Henry, she has created a family centered office providing best in class care and support. We are so grateful for their genuine commitment to the wellbeing of our sweet kiddos! And especially appreciative of how promptly (and happily!) they return our off hours calls.....eek..... sorry!!!.....thanks SBP!! :)

I have had nothing but positive experiences at Sound Beach Pediatrics. I had my firstborn during the height of the COVID-19 crisis and have been given both excellent care and wonderful advice during this really scary time for parents. Really love the staff and the office as well.
