Riverside Pediatrics

Riverside Pediatrics The best in pediatric care can be found in Georgetown and Kingstree! We are open! Georgetown and the surrounding areas now have a new option for pediatric care!

Experience the difference at Riverside Pediatrics where we "Care For Yours Like We Care For Our Own". 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. She has been providing therapeutic services to our community from Georgetown to Myrtle Beach since 2013. 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. Kid-friendly décor abounds! From our fish tank in the waiting room to our pediatric tables, your children will be excited to come to the doctor! Check out our website at riverside-peds.com!

Happy Sunday, everyone! We hope that all of our families are staying warm and still able to enjoy a little time in the snow! ☃️

For the safety of our staff and patients, we will be delaying our opening on Monday, February 2nd, to 1:00 pm at both locations. If you had a scheduled appointment for tomorrow morning, you should have already been contacted to reschedule. If you missed a call, please do not worry and give us a call tomorrow after 1 pm to reschedule.

Bundle up and have fun today! ❄️

Happy Friday! We know that so many of our patients are hoping for this type of scene over the weekend! We will keep you posted on our hours of operation as the weather unfolds. Our Saturday morning clinic for sick patients will run in Georgetown from 8 am - 10 am as usual.

If your child takes medication daily or uses an albuterol inhaler for asthma, please check your stock and make sure that you are prepared for the weekend. You can send us a portal message or call in to our refill line if refills are needed. It is also a good idea to have acetaminophen and/or ibuprofen at home in the event of sickness over the weekend.

Regardless of office hours, we are always available by phone for urgent needs. If you call our main office line and the office is closed, you will be forwarded to our answering service.

Stay warm and have a great weekend!! ❄️☃️

Check out this great video explaining retractions and the use of accessory muscles that can occur during respiratory distress. We often see this with RSV and bronchiolitis. It is currently RSV season, and we do still have the RSV immunization available through March. Your baby is eligible for this immunization if they are under 8 months old. Give us a call for more information!

Last week, HHS took a major step in the effort to dismantle a credible, evidence-based vaccination schedule. The science has not changed, and neither have we.

We join more than 200 medical organizations and countless pediatric and family medicine practices who will continue to follow the immunization schedule as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Our vaccination policy also remains unchanged.

As an unprecedented measles outbreak is occurring in our state, we are seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the ramifications of falling vaccination rates. Last year, 2 children died from measles, the first measles deaths in the US since 2015. Also, in 2025, at least 13 infant deaths occurred due to pertussis (whooping cough), and this influenza season has already claimed the lives of at least 9 children. Please, vaccinate your children. As vaccination rates fall, we can no longer rely on herd immunity. Protecting your child with vaccination is more important now than any time in our recent past.

To our wonderful families, we are so humbled and appreciative of your trust in our education, training, and expertise. Every day, you turn to us to care for your most precious children. We will NEVER take that for granted, and we consider it a privilege every single day. We are always here for you!
