Adolescence is a time of change. Along with the physical changes associated with puberty, there are also social and emotional changes that require supportive attention and care. At Carnegie Hill Pediatrics our skilled professional team is well equipped to address the unique and complex needs of adolescents, including teens with special needs and those dealing with a chronic disease or disability. By having a trusted medical home, your teen has access to the resources required to address concerns prevalent among teenagers and to navigate all the challenges associated with these developmental years. In addition to performing a comprehensive physical examination, our pediatricians provide support, guidance, and care to address a range of potential issues and concerns such as:
- Weight management
- Eating disorders
- Mental health conditions
- Academic performance
- Harmful habits
- Drugs and alcohol
- Sexual activity
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Pregnancy
Our pediatricians provide teens with the compassionate care and helpful guidance they require to support physical and emotional wellness.
