new kind of medical care for teens .
Adolescent medicine specialists
combine the expertise of primary care providers with specialized
knowledge of teens and young adults. Over time, adolescent medicine
specialists become a confidential source for teens who are beginning
to need a "grown-up" doctor with whom to discuss life's
problems. Adolescent medicine doctors become partners in helping
teens take responsibility for their own health and well being.
Here's what we do:
Care for patients ages 10-25, male and female
Provide comprehensive camp, school, sports and
pre-college check-ups
Explore developmental and growth concerns
Diagnose and treat gynecological problems including
expert first-time Gyn exams
Address sexuality, pregnancy and STI issues
Create a "medical home" for teens with chronic
illness or developmental challenges
Counsel on nutrition, weight, and eating questions
Coordinate care for eating disorder patients
Advise on sports-related health
Support teens with concerns re: drugs, alcohol,
violence
Collaborate with specialists, therapists, counselors,
teachers and clergy
