The Division of Adolescent Medicine at the Nemours Children's Clinic - Orlando provides an innovative approach to the health care of adolescents and teens. The division is committed to the needs of adolescents, including sexual and psychological health care. The goal of the adolescent medicine team is to respect the feelings, concerns, and wishes of each patient. During the adolescent s visit to the clinic, board-certified physicians will carefully discuss the treatment plan with the patient.
Physicians are available to answer questions and to talk with patients about sensitive issues.
This special doctor-patient relationship helps patients to become aware of their role in accepting some of the responsibility for their health care. The Division of Adolescent Medicine is dedicated to the education of adolescents and their families. All Nemours doctors are specially trained and have pursued higher credentials within their areas of specialty. A physician or surgeon who has completed approved training in a specific area is more capable and qualified to treat and manage patients.
