When should I come in for special or sick visits?

Teens should make additional visits to the Adolescent Medicine Department if they have any of the following symptoms for more than three days: fever, pain, headache, sore throat, cough, nausea/vomiting, diarrhea, vaginal or penile discharge, or irregular periods. They can also come in for contraception issues, and pregnancy testing.

What should I do in case of emergency?

If patients have an emergency that cannot wait until the following business day, they should go to the nearest emergency room, immediately. For non-urgent care, they can call for an appointment the next morning.

What is your privacy policy?

Our policy is to provide confidential healthcare. What the teen patient says stays between him/her and the provider. However, in the best interests of the patient, if he or she is in danger, we will let the guardian know what is happening.

How can I prepare for my appointment?

Patients should bring a list of any medications they are taking, as well as their insurance cards when they come to the Adolescent Medicine Department.
