What are Adolescent Doctors?

Adolescent specialists are doctors who have advanced training in the health issues that adolescents face. These physicians deal with issues like the onset of puberty, reproductive health, eating disorders, irregular periods, mood changes, drugs and pressures from home and school. For girls entering adulthood, adolescent specialists can act as both pediatrician and gynecologist, so they only have to see one doctor for all their needs.

Adolescent specialists treat or diagnose teens for the following conditions:

  • sports injuries
  • Adolescent Idiopathic scoliosis
  • growth/development issues
  • reproductive/sexuality issues
  • obesity
  • eating disorders
  • learning and attention problems
  • acne
  • depression, anxiety and other mental health problems
