Adolescent medicine specialists serve individuals
between the ages of 12 and 22 who require care related to
puberty, development and behavior. From acne and hirsutism
to sexually transmitted diseases and menstrual disorders,
our adolescent medicine physicians are a resource for the
general practitioner.
As a supplement to community physician primary
care, our specialists also can perform routine gynecologic
care. Other specialized services include body image problems,
and evaluation and management of eating disorders.
Our services also extend to children between
the ages of 8 and 11 who are prepubertal or peripubertal and
may have specific age-related issues.
This section uses a multidisciplinary approach, working with
a team of psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, psychopharmacologists
and dietitians as necessary.
