Teenage and Adolescent Care

It’s easy to assume that a trip to the gynecologist is only for grown women. However, these important exams are also important for girls as young as 13. That’s because teenagers can experience the same gynecological issues as adult women once they start going through adolescence and puberty.

We offer:

  • Gentle, educational adolescent gynecological exams.
  • Solutions for abnormal menstrual bleeding, painful periods and other common problems.
  • Gardasil counseling and vaccines that can prevent HPV and cervical cancer.
  • STD (sexually transmitted disease) counseling, screening, diagnosis and care.
  • Quick and easy referrals to other specialists
  • An on-site lab and a full range of in-house diagnostic testing

Common gynecological screenings include:

Physical: checking your weight, heart rate, and blood pressure

Breast exam: looking for lumps, cysts, and normal breast development
