Adolescent Medicine

Adolescence is a time for many changes in a young person’s life. During this maturation period, many teenagers have specific emotional, psychological, and physical needs. We offer comprehensive medical care specifically geared toward pre-teens, teenagers, and young adults that focuses on preventive care, nutrition, exercise, disease prevention and awareness, and substance abuse issues. Our aim is to foster an environment of communication with age-appropriate discussions that educate and speak frankly of teen concerns.

TPCA understands how challenging adolescence can be. It is recommended that adolescents ages 13 through 18 have a general physical exam once a year. Elizabeth Lee King, M.D., FAAP, a board certified pediatrician, concentrates in the area of adolescent medicine. She along with our friendly, caring staff are waiting to provide you with excellent medical care that prevents, as well as heals.
