Age you stopped going to the pediatrician

I went to the pediatrician until I graduated college.

I went to my pediatrician until age 20. At that point I was living in my college town year round and it was easier to see student health.

18 when I went to college

When we moved. I was 9 at the time. My mom set us up with a general practitioner. She let me see him by myself unless I was sick. That stayed in force until I was 13. At 13 I got to see the doctor by myself no matter the reason. I definitely preferred it that way too.

I was 17 and it was like she knew it was the last time she would see me, because it was a very thorough examination, she called it an adult physical and to this day it was one of the most detailed examinations I ever had. Thank God I was alone with the doctor that day.

I don´t remember well, I think I was between 14 and 15.

If my memory serves me well, I was 16…I remember as I got my permit to drive that same time.

In France I believe that boys and girls stop very soon to go to a pediatrician with certainly some exceptions, in my knowledge, it will stop at 10 or 12 age.

I notice that In the United States, we are going much longer to see a pediatrician

For those who have gone to a pediatrician until 16 age or 18 age or why not 20 age ( it seems that it is often after graduation of high school that you stopped to see the pedi adiatrician) , did you have noticed some casual differences with other doctors , like more undressing often until nudity, and undressing sooner after entrance in the exam room, sanding undressed while talking about health or forms to fill, less concern for modesty ?

May be it was only depending on doctors and thre was no general rule?

I have never been to a pediatric specialist. My entire life I've only seen the family GP.

For me it was 16, when my pediatrician sent me to an adult gp. The gp was more thorough when it came to exams.

I started Seeing a regular gp when I turned 16.

Until I was 13. I remembered her saying in a polite way “no it's time for you to consult with a GP and not me anymore…”

I was 13/14. It was my first appointment after starting my period and my appointment was during my period. Being young and slightly irregular I didn’t know I was going to be on my period and when it started I just remember hoping it would end before the appointment- it did not! The day of I refused to go and made the excuse that I didn’t want to go to a kid dr anymore. There was no way I was going to reveal the real reason I was not going to that pediatric office!

I was 15 when my pediatrican kicked me out of her office. The big meanie

Pretty sure my first physical from a doctor other than a pediatrician was when I went away to college around age 20 and had an exam from a physician at the university health center.

Just turned 15 the last time I seen the pediatrician. Up to that point I was 14 mom switch Doctor to GP. our new family Doctor. I had a really bad flu . cough, fever, body aches. GP was out of town so mom had called the pediatrician office to see by chance if they would see me. wasn’t excited about it but it was there or the hospital ER. This was 1984 nurse called my name mom was going stay in waiting room but had to go back. got weighed in put in a room nurse asked mom questions about on set and medications I was taking . she got my blood pressure and temperature the whole time I was coughing my head off trying not to gag on the thermometer it was high 103 she chartered it said she would be back. she returned ask mom if I had taking anything for fever or for coughing . Doctor came in did a quick assessment. Said this was going around he would write a couple of prescriptions and he would send the nurse back in to get my temperature again before we left and give me something to help me rest and the prescriptions to get filled at the pharmacy. after awhile the nurse returned she handed mom the Prescriptions. Said she need to get my temperature again and she had some medication to help with the coughing and probably sleep better too. I remember her walking over to the counter taking a thermometer out of the container this Time me getting it taking in my butt then getting a phenergan suppository.

Age 18 was my last annual exam. And the only one my mother did not attend.

I left my pediatrician for a doctor who saw adolescents by age 14. I last saw him prior to attending college at age 18. By then I had graduated to a complete exam!

18 or 19 I think, can't remember though

About 16 I believe since my pediatrician retired otherwise I probably would've kept going until 18.

I was 18.

Went until 21 or 22

Until the age of 12 when I was switched over to a doctor who specialized in adolescents. A year or so before that me and my younger brother often saw the pediatrician together. Maybe they had a "two-fer" or a "BOGO" 😃

I saw my pediatrician until I was 18.

My last exam was for my college physical. Dad came as usual. Was the usual physical exam. He was middle aged doctor only him and dad in the exam room. Had to strip to my briefs and socks, usual preliminaries and rectal temperature, then remove my briefs. He examined my penis and testicles then had me bend over he spread my cheeks felt around my anus I felt the tip of his finger go in but not all the way. Then I was able to get dressed while he discussed with dad about being ready to see a GP or the college doctor. My next physicals were done at college definetly alot more through.

I was 16. I was kind of sad, when my pediatrician told me that I was too old to see him anymore, and he referred me to an adult gp group. They were all good doctors, and nice people, but my old pediatrician had a great personality, and he became a personal family friend.

Never had one. Just an old country dr for the whole family

12/13 years old

I was 18 before i aged out and had to see a regular doctor

It was my mother's decision. I just turned 16, when I was last time there. It was a sick exam. Last physical was the year before.
