Our newest physician!

We are thrilled to welcome Rebecca Liggett, DO, FAAP, to our pediatric team! Dr. Liggett will be joining Riverside Pediatrics in mid-October 2026 and will be our lead physician in Murrells Inlet.

Dr. Liggett is a board-certified pediatrician with more than 15 years of experience caring for children in outpatient pediatrics, pediatric hospital medicine, and pediatric urgent care. She earned her medical degree from Des Moines University and completed her pediatric residency at Blank Children's Hospital in 2008.

Originally from Colorado, Dr. Liggett grew up in a Navy Family, spending her childhood on both the East and West Coasts before completing her education and medical training in the Midwest. After many years practicing in the mountains of western Colorado, she and her husband are excited to return to coastal living and become part of the Murrells Inlet community.

Dr. Liggett has a special interest in developmental and behavioral pediatrics including sleep concerns, ADHD, and adolescent anxiety. She believes the best care comes from building lasting relationships with families and partnering with parents to help every child thrive.

When she is not in the office, Dr. Liggett enjoys exploring the outdoors, reading, learning about local history, and walking the trails with her Goldendoodle. She is the proud mother of three adult children and is excited to embrace all that the South Carolina Lowcountry has to offer.

Coming soon to Murrells Inlet!

RSV Protection starts October 1st

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 08:24:00 GMT

We are so grateful to offer RSV protection to our most vulnerable patients! Beyfortus (nirsevimab ) is a preventative antibody that protects babies and young children from severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. Beyfortus should be given to babies born during or just before RSV season. The immunization season for Beyfortus starts October 1st and extends through March 31st. Eligible patients are infants 8 months and younger during RSV season and some children between 8-19 months who are high-risk for RSV complications (chronic lung disease, cystic fibrosis, and children who are severely immunocompromised). Pregnant women are also offered RSV protection late in their third trimester - as long as moms have received their RSV protection at least 2 weeks before delivery, RSV protection after birth is not necessary.

Beyfortus is a preventative antibody that provides passive immunity by giving the body pre-made RSV antibodies. This gives the body almost immediate protection, which lasts for at least five months. Medical studies have shown that Beyfortus is about 80-90% effective at preventing children from being hospitalized with RSV during the RSV season.

We are hopeful that the supply of Beyfortus will be adequate for our patients throughout the season. If you are privately insured, please check with your insurance company prior to administration to ensure coverage.
