Adolescent Medicine is a relatively new but growing subspecialty of Pediatrics and Internal Medicine. Specialists in Adolescent Medicine provide comprehensive health services to teenagers that are appropriate for their physical and emotional development.
Emphasis is placed on health promotion and disease prevention.
About the Adolescent Medicine Program Greenwich Hospital established an Adolescent Medicine program to meet the broad medical and mental health needs of young people ages 12 to 22. Within the program, adolescents can discuss physical and emotional health concerns with professionals who have the experience, skill and dedication necessary to help. A multidisciplinary team is led by Marcie Schneider, M.D., a board certified pediatrician with specialty board certification in Adolescent Medicine. Other members include a family nurse practitioner, registered dietitian, and psychologist, and all have extensive experience in diagnosing and treating the problems presented by adolescent patients. The team meets regularly to discuss each patient's needs and progress, which results in excellent coordination of services.
