Duke provides a full range of primary care health services for patients 11 to 21 years old.

In addition to providing comprehensive physical exams, Duke offers screening for physical, emotional, and behavioral health problems.

We also provide parental guidance and counseling for adolescents and parents to promote healthy lifestyles and to address the physical and emotional distress teenagers often experience.

Your teenager's doctor will emphasize preventive health care and will help him or her manage acute issues.

We encourage communication between teens and their parents while establishing a comfortable, trusting relationship between doctor and patient. Our practice respects the adolescent's confidentiality while maintaining the trust of the parents.

Physicals for School, Athletics, and Camp

Children and adolescents often are required to undergo a physical before they can enroll in school, participate in sports, or attend camp, and Duke is here to serve your needs.
