Adolescent Medicine

The Division of Adolescent Medicine at The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital, led by a board-certified pediatrician who is also certified in Adolescent Medicine by the American Board of Pediatrics, cares for young women and men between the ages of 10 and 21. Common problems treated include concerns about development during puberty, weight issues, menstrual irregularities, and acne. Assessments for behavioral issues such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity are also provided. Specialists work closely with other specialty divisions within Saint Peter’s Children’s Hospital, particularly the Division of Pediatric Endocrinology to treat health concerns and conditions such as amenorrhea, thyroid disease and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS.)
