Riverside Pediatrics The best in pediatric care can be found in Georgetown, Kingstree, and very soon in Murrells Inlet! We are open! Kid-friendly décor abounds!

Experience the difference at Riverside Pediatrics where we "Care For Yours Like We Care For Our Own". Georgetown and the surrounding areas now have a new option for pediatric care! Dr. Jonathan Elias and Dr. Michelle Steffen, both pediatricians well known to the area, have come together to create Riverside Pediatrics and offer exceptional medical care to the children in this community. They are thrilled to have Beka Hanna, PNP, with them as well. Dr. Elias, Dr. Steffen, and Beka Hanna, PNP, understand the importance of a pediatric medical home, and provide state of the art medical care in a welcoming small town environment. We are also excited to announce our partnership with Redwine Counseling! Kathy Redwine is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a certified play therapist.

Kathy has a dedicated, fully equipped office within Riverside Pediatrics which provides easy access for the behavioral therapy and counseling needs of our patients and the community. Riverside Pediatrics is also at the forefront of technology in pediatrics. We are affiliated with MUSC Health Telemedicine and offer telemedicine services in our office. We also have a fully-integrated electronic medical record with an excellent patient portal designed to make your child's health information readily available to you. The patient portal makes your life easier by allowing you to schedule appointments, request prescription refills, and ask questions electronically through the portal. Our providers are committed to the community, as they have been for many years. We invite you to come and see how Riverside Pediatrics can serve your children and family! Riverside Pediatrics is located at 435 Marina Drive (just across the bridges from Pawleys Island) in historic Georgetown, South Carolina. Our office hosts separate sick and well waiting rooms, 9 exam rooms, and a counseling office.

Our flu vaccinations are in! Your child can receive their flu vaccine during an in-office appointment, at one of our flu clinics, or by scheduling a nurse visit.

Flu clinics are scheduled at our Georgetown location on 10/16, 11/5, and 11/19. In Kingstree, flu vaccine appointments can be scheduled Wednesday-Friday.

Call 843-833-8595 for our Georgetown office and 843-401-4200 for our Kingstree office. Our Murrells Inlet office will be opening in December! ⭐

Respiratory season is right around the corner, and we want to be sure that our babies are protected from RSV. Beyfortus and Enflonsia are amazing treatments - these medications give RSV antibodies to babies providing immediate protection from RSV that lasts for 5 months. Studies show that RSV immunoprophylaxis reduces hospitalization for infants by 80-90%. Complete game changer, and we have seen these amazing results in our practice!

Eligible babies include ALL babies that are under 8 months of age during the RSV season that ranges from October 1st through the end of March. If a pregnant mom receives her RSV vaccine more than 2 weeks before delivery, their baby does not need Beyfortus or Enflonsia as they will receive protection from their mother's vaccination.

Eligible babies for Beyfortus also include children from 8-19 months of age with certain underlying health problems including:

1. severe immunocompromise
2. cystic fibrosis with severe disease
3. chronic lung disease of prematurity requiring ongoing medical support
4. preterm birth (

This is a huge step in the right direction 💪🏻, yet still the tip of the iceberg.

We will be posting more information about the detriments of smart phones, screen time and social media over the coming weeks. Parents, please stay tuned and set clear boundaries in your homes and with your kids. ❤️

BREAKING: A landmark win for kids' online safety 📱

Meta just reached a settlement with 47 states, D.C., and U.S. territories over claims it knowingly built addictive platforms for kids — agreeing to pay up to $17.1 billion in penalties and overhaul how teens use Instagram and Facebook.

What's changing for teen accounts:
→ 2-hour daily time limit across FB + Instagram (parent permission required to lift it)
→ No access midnight–6am; notifications silenced 10pm–7am
→ Likes hidden by default
→ "Extreme" beauty filters blocked
→ Option for a non-algorithmic feed + autoplay off
→ Stronger age verification + new parental controls

D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb called it "a monumental public health victory for young people" — and noted Meta won't be the last platform to settle.

The deal still needs a judge's sign-off, but the message is clear: the tide is turning on Big Tech's grip on kids' attention.

This is why Wait Until 8th exists: to give kids a childhood before the algorithm gets a vote. The wind is finally at our backs!
