Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine

When choosing a doctor for your teen or young adult, you have a lot to consider. For young people 13 and up, health care starts to look a little different—teens have unique needs during these important years. And as a parent, you want to get expert advice. You want your child to have the right support as they grow up into a happy, healthy adult.

At ColumbiaDoctors Midtown, our adolescent medicine specialists understand these concerns. So we want to build a partnership that you and your teen can rely on. They can get care through their teen years and beyond—many of our patients stay with our practice into young adulthood.

Whether your child needs support while navigating the challenges of growing up, everyday care like well visits, vaccinations, or just answers to their questions, we can help.
