An adolescent medicine doctor is the perfect partner for you and your teenager as you face the challenging years ahead. We specialize in teens' physical and emotional health issues. Our goal is to help young people learn to make healthy choices so they can become healthy adults. With an adolescent medicine doctor, teens can be themselves and expect empathy and resources for what they face. You might say our doctors "talk teenager."
We provide comprehensive general health care, including routine wellness checks, sports physicals and immunizations. We also evaluate and manage:
- Complex health problems and chronic conditions
- Growth and puberty concerns
- Nutrition and exercise needs, including eating disorders and weight management
- School and learning difficulties, including stress management and treatment of ADHD
- Emotional and social issues
- Adolescent gynecologic conditions
As teens begin taking responsibility for their health, we educate and promote preventive health care for such issues as:
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Depression and peer pressure
- Smoking and substance use and abuse
- Risk taking behavior
