Annual  visits for your teen are important! In addition to the typical well visit, the doctor will be able to assess how your teen is developing socially and emotionally.

 Because teens have a growing need for independence and privacy, your teen will have the opportunity to speak to the doctor in private regarding topics that influence his/her health such as nutrition, safety, exercise, sexuality, tobacco, alcohol and drug use.

We understand that it might be hard for you to not be part of the whole office visit. It’s easier for teens to share information in private. Your support helps your teen begin to take responsibility for his/her own health.
