Teens & Adolescents

We take great pride in the care we offer adolescents. Our pediatricians and clinical staff strive to provide confidential and developmentally appropriate medical care to all ages.

We provide excellent healthcare for teens and adolescents, which includes the stages of early adolescence (11-13), middle adolescence (13-17) and late adolescence (17-21).

We recommend that our adolescent patients meet with us for a routine annual physical exam, to check on their health and development.

The interview may include questions about: home life, school/education, activities, friendships, diet/nutrition, sexual health/development, mental health, etc. If concerns with specific academic, emotional, physical, and/or social issues are identified, a follow-up appointment may be recommended, to continue appropriate evaluation and management.

The evaluation may include the following elements:

• • Brief interview with adolescent and parent (if present)
  • Expanded interview and physical exam
  • Laboratory tests as indicated
  • Wrap up session with adolescent and parent
