About
At Core Care Pediatrics, Dr. Kristina Hinrichs delivers membership-based pediatric care to families across Smithtown and Long Island. She founded the practice with a focus on accessibility, bringing expert care directly to families rather than waiting rooms. Members reach her by text, call, or video chat around the clock, with no receptionist or middleman between parent and doctor.
The practice serves children from birth through adolescence. Home visits are the standard when an in-person exam is needed, and virtual visits handle concerns that work well over a screen. Dr. Hinrichs offers same-day or next-day appointments for sick visits and manages chronic medical conditions alongside well-child care, immunizations, and newborn support. She also performs medical-grade ear piercing in patients' homes using sterile equipment and hypoallergenic jewelry. Core Care Pediatrics serves Smithtown, Kings Park, Commack, Huntington, St. James, and surrounding areas.
