I need to find a specialist in the Valley of AZ for my 13 year old child who has high blood presure. Our primary care doctor said this is the first child she has put on blood presure medicine and does not have alot of information about this.

Hi Helpme1234,
I'd start by contacting different pediatricians in your area. If they do not specialize in children with high blood pressure they may be able to refer you to a colleague who does. The nurses in the pediatric unit of the local hospital would be another good resource to check with. You may also want to try a search at healthychildren.org.
All the best,
