At The Pur Health, we understand that adolescence is more than a stage — it’s a critical turning point. Between the ages of 12 and above, young people undergo profound physical, emotional, and mental changes. Our physician-led adolescent health program in Irvine provides comprehensive care tailored to teens’ unique needs, with a focus on clinical excellence, confidentiality, and trust. Whether it’s a sports physical, mental health screening, or hormonal guidance, our team is here to guide your teen through every milestone — safely, respectfully, and compassionately.

What Is Adolescent Health Care?
Adolescent health bridges the gap between pediatrics and adult medicine. It addresses the complex and evolving needs of teens and young adults — not just physically, but emotionally and socially. At The Pur Health, this care model is integrated into our primary care services, ensuring continuity, communication, and clarity. We provide annual exams, health education, screening for early signs of chronic illness or mental health concerns, and supportive counseling on topics ranging from nutrition and sleep to sexuality, substance use, and school stress.
Our clinic is structured to offer adolescents the space to speak openly while involving parents in a supportive, age-appropriate way.
What Age Range Does Adolescent Medicine Cover?
We typically see patients from ages 12 and above, although this may vary based on clinical needs or transition plans. For many families, this means our providers care for their child through middle school, high school, and even the first years of college. Whether your teen is just entering puberty or preparing to move out of the home, we offer personalized support during every developmental transition.
Common Health Concerns in Teens and Young Adults
Adolescents are navigating a world of changes — hormonal, emotional,
academic, and social. At The Pur Health, we commonly address:
- Acne, hormone shifts, and early puberty
- Menstrual irregularities and period management
- Obesity and nutrition concerns
- Sports injuries and physicals
- Anxiety, depression, and social withdrawal
- Peer pressure, body image, and self-esteem issues
- Early signs of disordered eating
- Sexual health education and STI screening
- Vaccination updates and college immunization forms
Rather than treating these concerns in isolation, we consider how they interact. For instance, acne and sleep issues may be linked to stress or hormonal imbalance. Depression may show up as stomach aches, not sadness. Our approach is comprehensive — and always confidential.
What Happens During a Teen Wellness Visit?
A standard adolescent visit includes a full physical exam, review of medical history, and age-appropriate screenings. Depending on your child’s age or concerns, we may also assess:
- Puberty progression and hormonal changes
- Emotional and mental health status
- Menstrual health and sexual development
- Sleep, diet, exercise, and screen time patterns
- Risk behaviors (substance use, peer influence, bullying)
We create space for both the parent and the teen to speak privately with the provider. This confidentiality is crucial to building trust — especially when addressing topics like sexual activity, mental health, or family dynamics. Our physicians are trained to handle these conversations with care and clinical precision.
Can a Teen See a Doctor Without a Parent Present?
Yes — under California law, minors can access certain confidential health services (including mental health care, STI screening, and reproductive services) without parental consent, beginning at age 12. That said, our clinic strongly encourages open communication between teens and parents. We often help bridge that gap in a safe, respectful way that fosters understanding without compromising medical privacy.
Why Choose The Pur Health for Teen Care?
- Doctor-Led Care: Every visit is overseen by a board-certified physician with experience in adolescent medicine and primary care. We don’t rely on quick urgent-care visits or large pediatric practices that rotate providers.
- Whole-Child Approach: We look beyond symptoms to understand root causes, integrating mental, physical, and social health for better long-term outcomes.
- Safe, Judgment-Free Environment: Teens need space to talk. We create that space with compassion, confidentiality, and clinical rigor.
- Family Partnership: You’re not left out of the process. We work closely with parents while respecting the growing independence of the adolescent.
- Continuity of Care: Our clinic provides care throughout adolescence — from puberty to college transitions — building deep trust over time.
