Teen Health

Did you know that, most of the time, teenagers in my office stay completely dressed? It's true. Pap smears don't start until age 21 now (update your mom, she probably doesn't know that). And pelvic exams - that part where you have to put your feet up in the stirrups - only have to be done if you are having specific problems and need me to take a look. I can do birth control consults, test and treat sexually transmitted infections, help you with painful or irregular periods, and chat about your questions without you ever getting undressed. And if I do think you need an exam, we only do it if you are comfortable and ready that day. Also, you are always in control of your private information. I only talk to the people that you have ok'd. So don't let your anxiety get the best of you. If you need me, I'm here.
