Q&A – Addressing Your Concerns

How can I prepare my teenager for their first visit?

Talk to your teenager about the importance of their health and reassure them that they can have private conversations with their healthcare provider. Encourage them to write down any questions or concerns they might have.

What is the policy on confidentiality?

We respect the privacy and confidentiality of all our patients, including adolescents. While we encourage open communication within families, there are laws that protect certain aspects of adolescent healthcare. We can discuss these policies with you and your teenager.

Can my teenager receive vaccinations during their visit?

Yes, we can administer recommended vaccinations during your teenager’s visit. We’ll review their vaccination history and ensure they are up to date.

How often should my teenager have a check-up?

We recommend annual check-ups for adolescents. However, the frequency may vary based on their health needs, chronic conditions, or if they are involved in sports.

Do you offer mental health support?
