Adolescent Medicine

As every parent of a strong-willed pre-teen or teen-ager knows, adolescents are not always eager to share their thoughts, let alone their health concerns. That is why it is critical for you to ensure your teen gets regular preventative care. The adolescent medicine specialists at the Ronald McDonald® Children’s Hospital of Loyola University Medical Center provide consultation and comprehensive care for teens (ages 11 - 25). This includes routine health care and anticipatory guidance, as well as management of acute and chronic disease. Conditions treated include:

• Depression
• Developmental concerns
• Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia and obesity
• Menstrual disorders
• School problems
• Chronic recurrent symptoms such as headache, abdominal pain and fatigue
• Unspecified concerns

Our staff of board-certified doctors, psychologists and social-workers is well qualified to handle the specific needs of adolescents and can provide services on both an inpatient or outpatient basis.

To schedule an appointment with your Loyola pediatrician or pediatric specialist, call (877) 216-KIDS.
