Survivor Post - When Should My child Start Seeing My Adult Physician?

This is the time of year when we see a lot of teenagers for their physicals as they prepare to go to college. Many believe that once they go to college, they've out grown the pediatrician. This isn't always the case. The Survivor Pediatrics blog has a interesting post that talks about "when your teen should leave" his/her pediatrician. 

As a pediatrician I am sometimes asked, “when should my child start seeing my adult physician?”

MY ANSWER IS NOT UNTIL THEIR EARLY 20′S.

Even though your teens are older, the pediatrician still knows them best

With your pediatrician you have grown accustomed to being seen right away and in the office where you are comfortable. Your pediatrician has been trained to deal with your child’s health issues from birth until they are young adults. We know your family and we know your child’s history. We know you and we are always there for you.
