Adolescent Gynecology
525 East 68th Street, Suite J-130
New York, NY 10065
Children and teens may experience gynecological concerns. It is important to seek care from a gynecologist who is passionate about and experienced with caring for younger patients.
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that adolescents between the ages of 13 and 15 begin routine care with a gynecologist.
At Weill Cornell Medicine, our exceptional care teams believe that children and teens deserve the very best gynecological care. We provide sensitive, compassionate care to ensure that all patients have a positive experience that supports their health and understanding of their own well-being.

Why Choose Weill Cornell Medicine?
Sensitive, confidential care: Our doctors promote greater well-being by supporting open communication between patients and their parents/caregivers regarding health decisions, while also supporting patient confidentiality.
A typical visit begins with a discussion between the doctor, the patient and the patient's parent(s)/caregiver(s). We then allow time for the patient to have a confidential discussion with the physician.
Unless the patient’s safety is at risk, communication solely between the patient and doctor is confidential to foster and ensure a trusting relationship.
