Mill Creek Adolescent Medicine
Mill Creek adolescent medicine offers quality medical care to every age in your family. The operative word in Mill Creek Family Practice is ‘Family’. One of our specialties is adolescent medicine.
As parents, you know that your adolescent children are not just under-aged under-sized adults (they may not be under-sized at all, by adolescence). They have different emotional, intellectual, and developmental characteristics and needs, go through different stages and phases, and require different, special care.
The same is true of their bodies. Adolescent bodies are in a state of growth and change. The most profound of these changes are often hormonal and result in specific physical and emotional phases, some of which may require treatment. We are experienced with the particular needs—physical, emotional, intellectual, and behavioral—of adolescence. We will give your adolescent child personal, compassionate care at every stage of development, for every problem.
As with all of our patients, we believe in a course of preventive care for adolescents. Schedule regular physical examinations even if the patient is ‘feeling fine’ and displays no symptoms. Regular check-ups allow us to monitor development as well as observe and asses potential risk factors (if any).
