An approach to the adolescent patient.
We desire to approach adolescent patients by liking them, being ourselves, trying to establish trust, and maintaining confidentiality. We want to help them grow well physically and develop normally emotionally. If we are concerned about them, take the time to listen to them, and let them know they are important to us, we will find that they are rewarding patients, and that they will educate us and increase our medical effectiveness.
