Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology

Compassionate Care for Adolescents and Young Girls in New Jersey

When your child or teen needs gynecologic care, you want a team that understands the medical side and knows how to approach it with empathy and age-appropriate support. At Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health, our Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology program provides this specialized, compassionate care for patients from infancy through young adulthood across New Jersey, with locations in Bergen, Monmouth, and Ocean counties.

Our team of pediatric gynecologists and OB/GYN experts brings specialized training to diagnose and treat both common concerns and rare or complex disorders of the reproductive organs. In a welcoming environment designed for younger patients, our goal is to relieve menstrual symptoms and support future reproductive and sexual health.

What Makes Our Care Different

Gynecologic conditions in children and teens often require a different approach than adult care. Our board-certified physicians are specially trained in pediatric and adolescent gynecology, offering both medical and surgical expertise with a focus on comfort, communication, and long-term well-being.

• Child- and Teen-Focused Approach: We understand that reproductive health can feel overwhelming at a young age. Our team prioritizes clear, supportive communication with both patients and families.
• A Healing Environment: Care is delivered in a setting designed to ease anxiety and promote trust from first visits through follow-up care.
• A Nationally Recognized Program: Our program is recognized by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and reflects the highest standard of care in this field.
