About the practice
We
know that a positive experience is important for your child, so that
she will continue to take care of her reproductive health. All examinations
are done by pediatric/adolescent gynecologists in a sensitive, age-appropriate
way. To assure non-threatening, comfortable exams, we use instruments
and equipment especially designed for young girls and teens.
We can address the gynecologic problems of children and adolescents with chronic medical conditions. We are also well equipped to care for those with mental or physical disabilities.
Our physicians are skilled in the surgical evaluation and treatment of gynecologic disorders of this age group. We use minimally invasive techniques such as laparoscopy to evaluate pelvic masses, endometriosis and pelvic pain. Vaginoscopy may be used for retrieval of foreign objects and to assess vaginal bleeding and injuries. We are equipped to perform colposcopy and LEEP, cryotherapy and cone biopsies for abnormal pap smears and cervical dysplasia when needed.
Adolescents may also benefit from our prevention and wellness programs, which stress abstinence. Counseling about the risks of sexual activity, including sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, is important to the reproductive health of today's young women.
