Teen visits

Teenagers often have questions they’d rather ask a doctor privately. We welcome teens and respect their privacy within the limits set by New York law, while keeping parents involved in important decisions.

Why families choose one doctor

  • One place for the whole family’s checkups and vaccines
  • The doctor knows your family history, which matters for conditions like asthma, diabetes and high cholesterol
  • Easier scheduling: parents and children can often be seen at the same visit

For newborns and infants, and for children with complex medical needs, we work with pediatric specialists and refer when needed.
