BCAC’s forensic pediatrician not only examines children for signs of sexual abuse, she also checks for other untreated medical conditions. Teenagers who indicate that they are sexually active are provided with information about safe sex practices and birth control when appropriate. Medicals exams are at no charge to the family.
“I have been at BCAC for over 10 years because I find great satisfaction in helping children, even if their visits here are short. I particularly like to teach residents about child sexual abuse knowing that they will be better prepared as doctors to help these children. Mesa Baker Leventhal, M.D., Medical Director
