Adolescent Clinic
For teens and pre-teens, talking about health and the general changes in the body can be extremely daunting and intimidating. However, it is crucial that your teenage child gets routine examination to ensure that their growth is on track and that their hormonal balance in the body is in check too. But the most important goal that healthcare practitioners and parents share when dealing with adolescent health is their emotional wellbeing.
As a child, the main priority is to get the vaccination shots on time, monitor healthy growth and development and ensure proper well-being throughout the primary years of life. During adolescence, since the body goes through so many
changes, consulting the right healthcare expert is crucial to check for a wide range of health issues, both physically and emotionally.
