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. For Zyrtec, see this dosage guide.

Choking is one of the leading causes of injury in young children, especially babies and toddlers who are still learning to chew and swallow safely. That’s why it’s important for parents and caregivers to be aware of common choking hazards and safe eating practices. 🍎
Foods like whole grapes, hot dogs, popcorn, nuts, and hard candies can pose a choking risk for babies if they are not prepared appropriately. Make sure to always supervise your baby or toddler when they're eating and choose age-appropriate toys to avoid choking hazards.
Here's a guide on choking prevention to follow. 👇

Babies have delicate skin that can burn much more quickly than adults, even after a short time in the sun. That’s why extra sun protection is so important during those early months. ☀️
It is recommended that babies, especially those under 6 months, be kept out of direct sunlight as much as possible. Shade, lightweight protective clothing, and wide-brimmed hats are some of the best ways to help protect their skin. 👒
For older babies, sunscreen can be used on exposed areas, but it should be applied correctly and reapplied regularly for continued protection. Check out this article for more tips on keeping your baby safe in the sun.👇
