Understanding Birth Control for Teens
Making informed choices with expert guidance
Teens Need Accurate, Judgment-Free Contraceptive Guidance
Many adolescents report limited access to clear, evidence-based information about contraception. Misinformation, stigma, and discomfort discussing sexual health can discourage teens from asking questions or seeking care.
Without appropriate counseling, teens may rely on less effective methods — or avoid contraception altogether — which can increase the likelihood of unintended pregnancy and untreated reproductive health concerns.
Adolescence is a time of developing independence and decision-making. Access to confidential, medically accurate information allows teens to better understand their options and consider what aligns with their health needs and personal values.
Healthcare providers trained in adolescent medicine can help explain risks, benefits, side effects, and effectiveness of various contraceptive methods so teens can make informed choices.
When teens feel respected and supported, they are more likely to engage in preventive care and ongoing follow-up.
Educational information only. Not a substitute for individualized medical advice. Contraceptive effectiveness and outcomes vary by method and consistent use.

I just wanted to let you know that in all the times we have met so many doctors along this path and you are the best doctor we have ever worked with. My daughter *** normally hates coming to appointments and getting weight checks, but with you she was actually willing to come and join and feels understood by you. I feel like I'm getting smiles out of my daughter again and she's my heart out of my chest. And I thank you for this.

Dr. Parmar I want to recognize you for the approach that you took with helping us to understand this illness and helping my daughter feel understood and never vilified. This is so hard and we had a bad experience before but today we feel like you have been so wonderful in helping us get aligned to help J****e.

I have worked with Dr Parmar in a multidisciplinary program for intensive care of children and adolescents with eating disorders. Dr. Parmar is a wonderful physician and colleague. She is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, has excellent clinical acumen and provides evidenced based treatment and recommendations consistently. In addition to her knowledge base Dr Parmar has a wonderful way of connecting with patients (even the most resistant) and educating and guiding families through this stressful process. As a colleague, she is extremely responsive, open to collaborating and available as an amazing resource of guidance. Perhaps the most meaningful feedback I can provide is that as a parent Dr Parmar would be my first choice doctor if a family member ever needed!
