Here are three reasons that mean you might need to find your adolescent a different doctor. 1. Your pediatrician's office is geared less toward toddlers and more toward teens. This in and of itself should not be a deal-breaker. Sometimes, simply by looking around their office, you can get a sense of how well or often your pediatrician deals with adolescents. 2. Your pediatrician doesn't acknowledge that your kid is growing up. When children reach the ages of 12 and 13, most doctors start to treat kids differently. For instance, they may politely ask you to leave the exam room so they can spend most of the appointment time with your child. And they should broach sensitive topics like drugs, sexuality, depression, and anxiety. 3. Your child hates going for an appointment. If your child complains about going to the pediatrician saying they don’t feel heard or the doctor treats them like a “baby,” it may be time to change your doctor.
