Welcome to the Longwood Pediatrics Teen/Adolescent Site.

We’ve developed this part of our site specifically for you.

Our goal is to make sure that you feel comfortable coming to our office for care. We want you to be as involved as possible in your health.

Acne is a very common problem for many teens. Everyone has some acne, but for some it is worse than others. BUT, there many effective treatments that we can offer, so please come see us to talk about your acne if it is something that you worry about. We can help!

We are available for yearly routine exams but we are also available on a daily basis to see you regarding illnesses and to help answer questions and offer guidance regarding growth, puberty, nutrition, and more.

A note about confidentiality:

Your medical privacy is important. In the state of Massachusetts, general medical information such as common illnesses/colds, or broken bones, as well as concerns about your safety are shared with your parents if you are under age 18. Issues about sexual health, HIV, and STD’s will be kept confidential unless you want us to involve a parent or guardian.
