Vanderbilt Adolescent and Young Adult Health

We strive to provide the highest quality care by using the most up-to-date, evidence-based scientific information and expertise available to us. Our clinic is a designated Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This team-based care model helps us keep improving quality, efficiency, safety and patient satisfaction. PCMH certified clinics have met specific criteria set by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), demonstrating that they are providing high-quality, patient-centered care.

In your clinic visit, you may see pediatric residents, attending physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses and health care students. Our residents spend three or more years in training at Monroe Carell, in our clinics with patients, or learning the latest heath care advances from our specialists. Your child may see only one doctor, or a resident may ask an attending (supervisor) for a second opinion.

If you have an urgent question and our office is closed, you can still reach us by calling our clinic’s phone number. There is always a provider on call. We also have several after-hours clinics in middle Tennessee with later hours. Call us first before going to the emergency room unless your child has a life-threatening emergency.
