Adolescent Medicine
Offering New Jersey Adolescents Supportive Health Care Treatment
When adolescents become more independent, they look for guidance and support in taking control of their health. At RWJBarnabas Health, we aim to provide comprehensive treatment and care during these essential years.
Our goal is to cultivate supportive communication between families and teens in a way to establish committed age-appropriate treatment and care. Our trusted board-certified physicians take into consideration each patient’s emotional and physical needs, and are compassionate to their individuality, identity and development.
We provide a safe and comfortable setting in order to ensure each patient feels secure, which helps them open up about their concerns and focus on getting better.
Our team works alongside pediatric specialists and experts in order to encourage our patients to take control of their health at an early age. By providing attentive care, adolescents learn early on to feel more comfortable to share their health care needs through adulthood.
