Adolescent Health

We are pleased to offer services to young girls and teenagers. We provide counseling about normal changes in puberty, problems with periods, and sexual health. We are offering the HPV vaccine (Gardasil) to all young women ages 9 through 26. The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends a first visit at 13 to 15 years old. Many girls come with a parent for a portion of the visit and often times a pelvic exam is not needed. Another common time to come in for a first visit is during the senior year of high school before young women head off for college.

If you are an established patient, our doctors, midwives, and nurse practitioners are happy to meet with your daughters or young relatives.
