The adolescent support team is led by Dr. Nancy Dodson, a Board Certified physician in Pediatrics as well as Adolescent Medicine. Her clinical expertise includes a variety of adolescent health issues including eating disorders, reproductive health, contraception, menstrual/gynecologic disorders, and gender dysphoria. Dr. Dodson sees patients both in person and virtually.
Patients of Tribeca Pediatrics have access to these services. Speak to your pediatrician for more information. We also offer consultations with Dr. Dodson for eating disorders or gender dysphoria to adolescents who are not Tribeca Pediatrics patients.
For adolescents who are not patients at Tribeca Pediatrics, seeking a consultation for eating disorder treatment, please complete this intake form and email to adolescents@tribecapediatrics.com.
