Adolescent Urgent Care
Are you concerned about your teen's health?
PediaClinic is proud to address the needs of adolescents. We see them for routine illness and common mental health concerns. Call our office during weekend or evening office hours and set up a time for your teen to meet with Dr. Louis.

What happens during a SAFER assessment?
At a SAFER appointment, Dr. Lou Hampers will conduct a thorough interview and medical evaluation. This may include:

- Interviews with family, teachers and coaches
Afterwards, the family and the referring provider will receive a confidential written report. Depending upon the recommendations, Dr. Hampers will help the teen and family navigate and access the appropriate resources
