Adolescent medicine is a specialized area of pediatric health care that addresses the wide-ranging physical and emotional issues of adolescents as they move through the challenging stages of their preteen, teenage and young adult years of development.

St. Joseph’s Health features board-certified pediatricians with special training in adolescent medicine with expertise in the unique physical, psychological, and developmental needs of adolescents and young adults age 12 to 21.  We place particular emphasis on assessing the psychosocial development of adolescents; their interaction with peers, teachers and family members; and their ability to make the transition to adulthood. Special attention is given to prevention, health guidance, screenings and immunizations. We also provide care for adolescents with menstrual and other gynecological problems.
