Partnering with teens and parents for good health.

As your child enters young adulthood, it helps to have experts you can depend on. We’re here to listen, answer questions, and offer expert guidance.

Why Choose an Adolescent Medicine Doctor?

Just because teens are young adults doesn’t mean they have the same health needs as adults. Our adolescent health specialists offer expert care, and guidance as teens enter adulthood.

We provide:

  • Teen-focused care. We’re experienced at managing the unique issues young adults face — from acne and voice changes to self-esteem issues, peer pressure, eating disorders, and more.
  • Sensitive, respectful care. Some topics can be embarrassing for teens to talk about. Our specialists know how to make them feel comfortable enough to share and ask questions.
  • Guidance for a healthy lifestyle. We help teens develop healthy habits that can last a lifetime. As they become young adults, we help them make a smooth transition to an adult healthcare provider.
  • Reproductive health guidance. We provide expert advice and education on sexual health, including birth control, gender and sexual identity, teen pregnancy, and more.
