  • Evaluation and treatment of gynecological problems such as menstrual cramps and irregular periods.
  • STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) testing and treatment.


We are located at the University of Virginia Health System on West Main Street across from the Corner in Charlottesville, Virginia. We opened in 1991 and provide personal on-going care to teen patients from ages 12 to 20.

Our services are provided by a team of nurses, nurse practitioners, and physicians with a specialty in adolescent medicine. A social worker and a nutritionist are also available for individual counseling.
