Age you stopped going to the pediatrician

I still go to my pediatrician. At the Office I go to they can see you up to age 26

My family never went to the pediatrician. We had an old grumpy family doc that had to do. I didn't even know what they did until I got married and used my wife's old pediatrician. He was pretty good and cut us some slack with the bill when we were first married. I never really knew the difference since mom was a nurse and we were all pretty healthy. She did have the bag for emergencies though!

It was lasr time with 15/16, when he treated my problems I had during puberty. Received some injections.

It was annoying for me when a small boy in the waiting room asked his mother "Does the big boy there gets his temperature taken? Do they do it in his bum,too? Does he cry then? Does he get injections in his bum,too? Does he cry when he gets one?..."

One time, as an 14yo, I got in contact with a 12yo. He was that tall and slim that I was, and had blond short hair. He wore his jeans buggy style although he seemed to have a bubble bum , too. After my temperature was measured by the nurse,I returned into the waiting room. He suddenly told me that he waits for the same I received. He looked a bit anxious. I told him, that he will make it and the nurse is very carefully. After a few minutes he was called, I wished good luck, and he came back with a big smile and said that I was right. Unfortunately I didn't meet him a second time, because very often the pediatrician himself took the temperature again and he was not that carefully...

I was 19

Age eighteen was the last time I visited the pediatrician. Had the same male doctor since I was born. I went there for a final physical during the summer after graduating high school, and brought a bunch of paperwork I needed him to complete about my past medical history/immunizations, current medical condition etc, that I wanted to bring back home with me and needed to submit to a college before beginning to attend in the fall. Although my basic vitals were taken, the physical wasn't much compared to all of my previous years and I didn't mind one bit. He spent most of his time in the exam room with me, going through my medical records and completing the several forms I gave him. He did ask me questions about how I was feeling, experiencing any pain or concerns and we just talked about various other things in general. It was kind of strange because I was never asked to undress by the nurse that lead me into the room, nor the doctor when he stepped in a little later. It was a bittersweet moment for me with some happy aspects, since I never liked going to the doctor for anything including a yearly physical and some sort of sad, because he really wasn't an awful person (though I believe he was very thorough and absolutely despised certain things he did to me during a physical starting at age eleven, which I've already wrote about under different topics here) and knew I'd probably never see him again, or the same long-time nurse that worked with him for years, and as far back as I can recall. Last time I saw him was his photo in the local newspaper on the obituary page over twenty years later. Mom had cut it out of the newspaper and saved it to show me, the next time while visiting my parents. He'd passed away in his mid eighties and there was a very impressive, lengthy write up about his long-time medical career as a pediatrician. The article included some of his former patients that were my age at the time when I used to visit him, but now adults with children who stated how they happily brought their own youngsters in to see him, since they really liked him when they were a child/teen and wanted him to be their child's doctor as well.

I was 16, the last time I saw My pediatrician. After that I saw a regular gp.

I was 13 Yrs old

I was 18

The last time my mom took me to my annual well-child exam at the pediatrician was shortly after my sixteenth birthday.

I was 17. For my college entrance exam. Had a long detailed standing genital exam. The next physical I had was with a regular doctor and I would get my first rectal exam.

I was a few weeks away from my 17th birthday. I was sad because she was a really nice lady.

I was 14

When I was 14 and had started my period

I was 15.

I recall my last pediatrician exam around age 13. At that point, I didn’t go to a doctor for about three years. Following that, I picked up with a general physician.

I believe I was 16-17ish - around Junior year of high school

I was I think 18

We couldn't afford different doctors so the GP was a one size fit all kind of guy. Did my moms OB exams as well. I did have the vet remove a splinter once though.

I'm 19 now, and this is my last year with my pediatrician. My mother told me to go there until i can.

I was 13 yrs old we were moving out of state

17

I was 14 when I stopped going.

Due to having some neuro issues, my parents had me age out, staying as long as possible. I didn't think it was really fair since my kid sis got to go to a girl doc when she was mid teens. But in the 1970s, kids didn;t have as much say as they do today.

I still go. I’ll probably keep going until I turn 21.

I was 12.

I still go. I’ll probably keep going until I turn 21.

Same here, I haven’t thought much about transferring to a GP or a more adult practice.

Stopped going at 18. was long enough going to the pediatrician's office. glad I left.

I don’t remember for sure but I think I was around 11 or 12. The last appointment I remember at the pediatrician, I was 10 and I had broken out into a rash that kinda looked like chicken pox. Turned out to be folliculitus. The exam wasn’t even all the detailed, the doctor just looked at the rash in a few spots and asked questions and then wrote a few prescriptions. After that I only remember going to an allergy/asthma specialist. For the most part, any time I got sick it was allergy/asthma related so it worked out well.

I was 9. My next doctor visit I was 13. That is first time I had my balls and stick felt. I was worried about getting hard, but did not.
