About – DR. O “TheTeenDoc”

I am so excited that you are thinking about starting this journey of getting to know yourself. I promise it will not be easy…but it will be worth it! -Welcome to TheTeenDoc.

This beat has led me to understand that the reason teen’s have a high preventable death rate is not just because their brains aren’t fully developed until 26-28 years old, it is because when you don’t know you matter, you behave differently. You carry yourself differently and you take risks that can be deadly.

It turns out that was why teens were known for the sex, drugs and hip hop. This was not an innate calling, it was out of low self-worth. But, how do you do that in a 15-30 min visit? You really can’t. This is really why I am TheTeenDoc. I can plant seeds in the medical clinic room, but in the context of one’s home, video chat, text or by phone. I am able to coach insight about behavior.

I can also develop self-worth and transform developing humans from whom they think they’re supposed to be, to their having courage to be their greatest selves. This never gets old for me. It is a privilege for which I am so grateful each time someone lets me be part of their journey.

I just wanted to say Thank you for taking care of my niece. Thank you for being so patient since it took soooo long for you to be able to start. You are such a great asset to teens. I only with you were around when I was a teen. You are so easy to talk to and wonderful with your patients and their parents.

I was told that I was imagining all my medical symptoms and people had bounced me around from specialty to specialty getting labs and imaging and telling me that I just needed to take an antacid. Dr. O helped me see how anxiety which I did not even realize I had was affecting one thing then the next. It helped me feel empowered and not like I was just going to suffer my whole life.

Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our career day. It was a great success because of you! The students had a wonderful time and learned so much about your profession and themselves. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to share about your experiences. Talking to people outside of their world is very enlightening for our students. The stude nts adored you! They loved hearing about your work and the older students were especially inspired by your focus on their hopes and dreams. You were brilliant!

Your participation in the class also served to highlight the strength of providing comprehensive and integrative care to patients and families. Parents commented on how valuable it was for them to get an Adolescent Medicine perspective on behavioral and relationship issues related to their teens. Obtaining complementary and compatible information from both physician and mental health professionals provides parents a sense they are receiving accurate and timely guidance. It is our hope that you will be able to join us again in the future.
