When Bay Ridge parents are searching for a pediatrician who truly knows their child, they come to GPM Pediatrics. Just minutes from Bay Ridge, our practice has been a cornerstone of this community for over 50 years.
Founded by board-certified pediatrician Dr. Michael P. Gabriel, we've grown into a multigenerational practice where families stay with us from their child's very first days through young adulthood.
What sets us apart isn't just our experience — it's our philosophy. We respect parents as partners in their child's care, take the time to listen, and build the kind of trust that makes navigating childhood health feel a little less daunting.

Our Pediatric Services for Bay Ridge Families
Well Child Visits
Preventive care is central to our mission. Regular
well-child visits allow your pediatrician to monitor growth, identify developmental concerns early, and offer tailored advice for all ages. From your newborn's first checkup to your teenager's annual physical, our team ensures your child thrives in every stage of their health journey.
Same-Day Sick Visits
No parent wants to hear "the next available appointment is in three days" for a child with a fever. At GPM Pediatrics, we provide same-day
sick visits because childhood illnesses aren't convenient. Our pediatricians will quickly evaluate your child, offer an diagnosis, and guide you through treatment options with clarity and compassion.
Immunizations
Keeping your child up to date on
vaccinations is crucial for their health and that of the Bay Ridge community. We follow the American Academy of Pediatrics'
immunization schedule and encourage parents to discuss
vaccines. We also offer vaccine-only visits for added flexibility, allowing you to catch up on shots without a sick or well visit.
Parenting means juggling a lot — and health questions have a way of surfacing at the least convenient times. That's why GPM Pediatrics offers a suite of online
child health resources designed to support your family between visits. From late-night symptom checks to vaccine schedules to neighborhood illness updates, everything below was put together with Bay Ridge parents in mind: straightforward, trustworthy, and easy to access whenever you need it most.
Is Your Child Sick?
Is Your Child Sick?It's 11pm and you're not sure if your child's symptoms can wait until morning. We've been there. Our Is Your Child Sick?® tool was designed for exactly these moments — giving Bay Ridge parents reliable, symptom-by-symptom guidance around the clock, so you can make informed decisions without second-guessing yourself. It's like having your pediatrician on call, any time you need it.
What's Going Around
What's Going AroundIf it feels like every kid in the neighborhood has the same cold, you're probably right. Our What's Going Around? page keeps Bay Ridge families informed about the illnesses and viruses currently making the rounds locally. Staying one step ahead means faster recognition, earlier treatment, and fewer days of missed school and work.
Medical Library
Medical LibraryRaising a child means navigating an ever-changing landscape of health questions — and the internet isn't always a reliable guide. Our Medical Library cuts through the noise with clinician-backed articles across more than a dozen topics, including newborn care, parenting tips, teen health, mental health, nutrition, safety, breastfeeding, and more. Bookmark it. You'll use it often.
Medicine Dosages
Medicine DosagesChildren's medication dosing depends on weight, not just age — and that can make the back of the box confusing. Our Medicine Dosage Guides provide clear, straightforward guidance for the most common over-the-counter medications, so you can treat your child's fever or discomfort with confidence. Always a useful resource to have saved on your phone for those middle-of-the-night moments.
Immunizations
ImmunizationsStaying current on vaccinations is one of the most important things you can do for your child — and for your Bay Ridge neighbors. Our immunization resource explains the full recommended schedule, what each vaccine does, and how to keep track of your child's records. If you have questions or concerns about any vaccine, we encourage you to bring them up at your next visit. We're always happy to talk it through.
Helpful Links
Helpful LinksWe've done the vetting so you don't have to. Our Helpful Links page points Bay Ridge families toward trusted, reputable sources of pediatric health information — including national medical organizations and public health agencies — so you can feel confident in what you're reading.
