Adolescents and young women with PCOS in Boston have a remarkable resource in Dr. Amy Desrochers DiVasta at Boston Children's Hospital. As Chief of the Division of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine and Medical Director of the Adolescent PCOS Center, Dr. DiVasta is one of the leading experts in the country on how polycystic ovary syndrome presents and progresses in younger patients.
