Pediatrician Ear Piercing in Nassau County
Dr. Kaden, Dr. Nayor, and Dr. Rabinowitz are board-certified pediatricians, fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics and members of the Nassau Pediatric Society. Since completing the residency program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center (Cohen Children’s Medical Center), all three doctors have remained involved in teaching.

Risks Of Ear Piercing
As a parent, you may want to get your child’s ears pierced at an early age to save yourself some grief later on in life. While this can be a wise decision, you should still know the potential risks that come along with any piercing. Since the immune system of a young child is still developing, we recommend waiting at least 6 months after birth before having their ears pierced. By opting for our Pediatrician Ear Piercing in Nassau County performed by a pediatrician, you can help avoid some of the below complications:
- Excessive bleeding.
- Contact allergies.
- Infection and purulent discharge.
- Post-traumatic tearing.
- Embedded backings.
Why Choose Pediatrician Ear Piercing in Nassau County
It is perfectly natural for either your or your child to be anxious about their first piercing. Having a stranger puncture holes into your child’s skin can be a difficult thing to stomach. To ease your nerves, you can come to us for Pediatrician Ear Piercing in Nassau County performed by a highly trained, educated, and experienced pediatrician. To mitigate the risk of infection, our pediatricians always ensure that all equipment is properly sterilized. With the help of another doctor or a physician’s assistant, both of your child’s ears will be pierced at once. By doing this, your child will only experience one moment of pain, instead of two separate ones. In the rare case that a piercing goes wrong, our doctor can identify the problem immediately and work to correct the issue.
