Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I am joined by Dr. Camille Imbo, a pediatric and adolescent gynecologist and founder of SPARC Gynecology. In this episode, we explore what pediatric gynecology is, why it matters, and when children and teens should see a specialist. Dr. Imbo shares insights on common concerns like painful or irregular periods, PCOS in adolescents, early puberty, and medical trauma—along with how early, compassionate care can prevent years of missed diagnoses and unnecessary suffering.
