Pediatricians see any patient under the age of 18. While many people think of using a pediatrician only for their young children, the practice extends through the teenage years as well. Pediatricians are trained and experienced not only in the care and ailments that affect small children, they are also able to provide the age specific care and education that teenagers need. In the case of a patient who has seen their doctor since birth, they are going to be very familiar and comfortable with the doctor for them to be able to ask the awkward questions about sexuality, depression, peer pressure and the other things that teenagers want to know. On the flip side, the pediatrician will be familiar enough with your teenager to be able to recognize early signs of mental health issues, social and behavioral problems, issues with substance abuse and any other potential causes of concern.
