About Adolescent Medicine
Adolescent medicine is a recognized subspecialty of
pediatrics, internal medicine, and family practice. To become
certified as a subspecialist, doctors take several more years of
advanced training and pass a corresponding examination. The
American
Board of Pediatrics has certified Dr. Johnson in both the specialty
of pediatrics and in the adolescent medicine subspecialty.
Some doctors have a particular interest in taking
care of adolescents, but only about 400 nationally -- and a few in
Orange County -- are actually board certified in
Adolescent Medicine. The American
Board of Medical Specialties website lets you check to see if a
"specialist" in adolescent medicine is actually board certified.
