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.

You probably have heard that processed foods should be limited in your children's diet, but it's important to know that not all processed foods are equal. There's a difference between ultra-processed foods, which can be harmful in excess, and minimally processed foods, which are not always bad. Learn more here and get tips on how to find the right balance and know whether the food your child is eating is ultra-processed or not. 🍎

With warmer summer weather and kids spending more time outdoors, staying hydrated is extremely important, especially in preventing heat-related illnesses. Water is the best choice for hydration. 💦 Unlike sugary drinks, water helps replace fluids without added sugar and supports overall health and well-being.
You can encourage your child to drink plenty of water by reminding them to take regular water breaks, pack water for outings, and use creative ways to make drinking water more fun. Check out this guide on how to get your kids to drink enough water, how much water your child needs based on their age, and signs of dehydration to look out for.

Playgrounds are a great place for children to stay active, build confidence, have fun, and develop social skills, but they can also be a source of injuries if safety precautions aren't followed. Before your child starts climbing, swinging, or sliding, take a moment to check that the playground is age-appropriate and has a safe surface underneath, such as wood chips, mulch, sand, or rubber. Hard surfaces like concrete and asphalt can increase the risk of serious injury from falls.
It's also important to supervise young children, teach safe playground behaviors, and make sure equipment is in good condition. Learn more here.👇

Summer is a fun season, but it is also a season with more bugs! 🦟 Insect bites can be annoying, itchy, and uncomfortable. And some insects can spread illnesses, like the West Nile virus or Lyme disease. One way to protect your children is to use the right insect repellent.
It is recommended to select repellents that have been registered by the EPA and contain ingredients such as DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or another EPA-registered active ingredient.
To learn more about insect repellents and other ways to protect your kids from bug bites, check out this link. 👇
