Age you stopped going to the pediatrician

I stayed with my pediatrician into my early 20's, until he retired.

I saw her until I finished my first year of college. It felt a bit embarrassing to be seen in the waiting room. By the time I was finishing high school and the following year, she gave me a very full exam that included vaginal and rectal examination along with a breast exam. There really wasn't much of a transition switching from her to a doctor who saw young adults, which I did using the college health service.

I was 7, after I went to a gp

I started seeing a family practitioner when I was 19. Before that it was always the pediatrician.

Until I was 18.

18. My pediatrician was fantastic, but when you're surrounded by Disney wallpaper, get a character bandaid after immunizations, and literally can't fit on the exam table, you know it's time to move on.

I was about 15 or 16. I stopped going to a pediatrician when we switched insurances.

18, when I entered college.

15 or 16; I think 15.

Really can't remember as I'm getting older and mind isn't always working with me...lol...but if I can remember I think it was 15 or 16 I believe.

When i turned 13. I became a teenager. 😃 So I wanted to go to an adult Dr. So it turned out to be a female, the regular Dr in the office. I was torn - I wanted to go to the adult Dr and not the one with the giraffes on the wall and "Highlight" magazines. I was so embarrassed at first, but she turned out to be really good. I got over it in time. And besides, as I got older she made me feel good about myself and quite the studly young buck. Lol She would send me to a "sports Dr." for my sports physicals. But when I was sick Id go to her cause she was just the best.

I do not remember going to a pediatrician. My earliest recollection is going to a family doctor when I was in elementary school. I went to that doctor until I was in college and then I went to the clinic at the college health office if I needed something. When I started working full time I had my own insurance and a different of doctors.

Here in the UK you only get to see a paediatrician if you are referred to one . Otherwise you just see a normal GP at the Drs surgery . We have health visitors that visit at home or you can go see them in clinic. Your child is only under them though until aged 4-5 when they start full time school.

Both my girls are under a paediatrician as they have various long term health conditions . They will see the paediatrician until their 17th birthdays and then they are handed over to a Consultant who specialises in adult care related to their conditions .

I'm 19 almost 20 and still see a pediatrician going to keep going to the same one until told not to

I was 17 the last time I went to my pediatrician....

I was 12.

12

I was 16

I was 15. We moved, so after the move it was logical to go to a regular family MD.

I was 12. Here in Argentina is mostly common that your parents take you to the Pediatrician since you are a New Born up until you turn 12 y.o, after that age you switch to a regular Dr (either if you go to a public hospital or visit the Dr in a Clinic or his Private Office) it could be considered kinda weird if you still see a Pediatrician being 12 or older than that.

I quess the last time was in HIgh School,,,around 10th grade we moved a lot so usually lots of government doctors for travel prep. Never got close to any of the doctors or had a primary pediatrician.

16

I stopped going to the pediatrician around 13 and switched to a regular doctor.

I was 11.

Around 14 to 15

16

I believe I was 16 because I know it was when I was a sophomore in high school.

Through high school..... So at least 17

I had my pre-college physical and immunizations done by my pediatrician, so 17.

I saw my pediatrician until I was about 20. Even during my first couple years of college, I would go to the doctor while home for the summer.
