A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if your a teenager and you go to get a physical for the first time what do they doctors do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Teen physicals: A teen physical is just like any other pediatrics physical. I ask questions... About home, school, activities, friends. I also ask questions about depression, drug/alcohol use, whether or not the kid is sexually active. More personal questions are asked alone, with the parent out of the room. For the physical part of the exam, i check a teen head to toe.
