Teen & Adolescent GI Care
Pediatric GI Care for Teens
Real conversations about real symptoms. We treat teens as partners in their own care, with the privacy and time they deserve.
Adolescents often struggle to be heard about GI symptoms. Belly pain, bathroom issues, nausea, and fatigue get dismissed or chalked up to stress until the symptoms start interfering with school, sports, and social life.
Dr. Mendez gives teens the time and respect to actually describe what they are experiencing, then builds a real plan. We address common adolescent conditions including IBS, IBD, reflux, celiac disease, eosinophilic esophagitis, and functional abdominal pain.
For teens with chronic conditions, we also help families think about the transition to adult care so nothing falls through the cracks.
