Adolescent Primary Care (Teen Tot)
The Adolescent Primary Care Clinic provides regular medical care to adolescents and young adults from age 10 to 21. Our services include school, sports and work physicals, reproductive health care and screening for sexually transmitted diseases. We also make referrals to specialists as needed.
We also see adolescents who have children of their own—the Teen/Tot Clinic. Thus, the adolescent and their child(ren) have the same health care provider, and can be seen at the same time.
Our Policy
We see adolescents who come in with their parents, or who come in alone. When parents come as well, the doctor will meet with the whole family first, and then will meet with the adolescent alone to talk and then to perform the physical exam.
We want teens to feel comfortable talking openly with their doctor, so we will observe patient/doctor confidentiality unless the adolescent is in danger. In this case, the provider will share information with the adolescent's family.
