We aim to serve as a comprehensive medical home for your teenagers, offering a range of services tailored to their specific needs:
Throughout the year, we frequently provide routine physicals for adolescents requiring clearance for summer camps, sports teams, and college entrance. For those with conditions such as asthma, chronic injuries, or diabetes, our goal is to facilitate full participation in their desired activities.
Our office administers crucial vaccinations to our older patients, including Tdap, Meningitis, and HPV. This age group is particularly vulnerable to preventable diseases due to potential waning immunity from childhood vaccinations, increased exposure in close-quarters camp activities, and international travel for endeavors like mission trips. We provide HPV vaccination for both female and male patients, addressing concerns related to cervical cancer prevention in young women and genital warts prevention in both adolescent males and females.
The providers at Care Plus Family Medicine are available to manage and counsel our adolescent patients on matters related to sexual health. We prioritize patient privacy in accordance with federal and state law. Our providers are equipped to address contraceptive needs for adolescent females, and our practice offers screenings and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases in both males and females.
Our team is committed to educating both parents and children about the importance of a balanced and nutritious diet. Through personalized guidance, we empower families with the knowledge and tools necessary to make informed food choices that contribute to optimal growth and development. Moreover, we understand that childhood obesity is a prevalent concern, and our practitioners are well-equipped to manage and address this issue. We tailor our approach to each child’s unique circumstances, offering support, guidance, and practical strategies to promote a healthy weight and lifestyle.
