BREAKWATER CENTER FOR DEVELOPMENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL PEDIATRICS
About Us
Supporting Families. Empowering Children.
The Breakwater Center is an individualized, physician-led, pediatric subspecialty practice that strives to deliver evidence-based and neurodiversity-affirming, Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric care to families in South Carolina.
Our Practice
We understand that sharing your concerns about your child can be a difficult experience. Our hope is to ease the stress of this process and help families obtain answers and services as efficiently as possible.
We understand that along the way, you may have received conflicting advice from family and friends, or maybe even from your child's health care team, leaving you more confused than ever. We will take the necessary time to ensure YOU feel heard and YOUR questions are answered.
Ultimately, we know that one size does not fit all and that you and your child may have unique needs during the diagnostic process. We value flexibility and direct physician access for our patients, so we built our practice to prioritize community partnerships, allow for after-hours scheduling, in-home evaluations, monthly subscription based services for complex medication management, and expanded telehealth throughout South Carolina.
We look forward to tailoring our services to meet your family's needs.
Dr. McCafferty
Dr. McCafferty is a Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrician who completed her Pediatrics Residency and DBP Fellowship in South Carolina. While caring for children with complex medical needs and advocating for improvements in early autism diagnosis, Dr. McCafferty grew deeply attached to the lowcountry and decided to build a micro-practice to directly serve her community.
She is a strong advocate for the medical care home and believes in empowering General Pediatricians to deliver autism care directly to their patients in a comfortable and accessible environment. Her practice is heavily influenced by her collective experiences as a physician and mother.
As a physician with a late-diagnosis of ADHD, she welcomes requests for second opinions and record reviews. More importantly, as a mother who had to navigate developmental delays with her own child, it is her personal mission to ensure that families feel safe to express their concerns without judgement.
