My kids ped had me wait outside for most of the appt from about 13 or so. I have been invited for the parental part (sign here, pay there LOL) in the earlier teens but not so much latter, and if the kids wanted me in for a sick visit vs a well check. It is very surprising a dr will have you in the room for a well check. This is when she does the sex and drugs and rock and roll stuff. And asks about mental health, etc. Is your ped male?
