Supporting Children and Teens From Age 9 Through Graduation
Care doesn’t stop as your child grows—it simply changes. At Tennessee Valley Pediatrics, one thing that truly sets us apart is our commitment to providing specialized care for adolescents. We understand this stage of life can be challenging, and we want to make sure your child feels supported and understood every step of the way.
Our Adolescent Clinic offers a calmer, more mature environment designed for older children and teens, where they can feel comfortable discussing their health, new experiences, and changing bodies. We also provide parents with the guidance they need to navigate this important stage of development.
For most appointments, your adolescent is welcome at any of our offices; however, certain visits may need to be scheduled at a specific location depending on equipment or the type of care needed.
Meggin Tallman, CRNP, and Taylor Phillips, CRNP, are our primary adolescent providers. They appreciate the meaningful changes this age brings and are dedicated to helping your teen thrive.
And to make things easier, if your child is up to date on checkups, you’re welcome to walk in for vaccines Monday through Friday from 9:00–11:00 am and 2:00–4:00 pm.
Walk-in Clinic
We understand how busy life can get with adolescents, which is why we offer convenient walk-in hours at the Adolescent Clinic (for ages 9 and up). Whether your child isn’t feeling well or needs a last-minute sports physical, they can be seen as a walk-in Monday through Friday from 8:00–11:00 am and
1:00–4:00 pm.
Some visits, such as those for anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, birth control, or medication rechecks, do require a scheduled appointment. For these, we kindly ask that you call ahead so we can ensure your child receives the time and attention they deserve.
Schedule an Appointment for:
- Well child checkups
- Sports physicals
- Sick visits (usually on the same day for acute illnesses)
- Chronic problems
- Vaccines
It is very important that you continue yearly check-ups for your school age children.
