[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would treat it the same way you would if you had a daughter that had a male pediatrician as a child. I only have daughters and both asked to see a female pediatrician starting when they were 8. Even if they hadn’t made the request themselves I would have asked as they moved toward puberty, so I would do the same for a boy nearing puberty. Just as it’s ok for a girl to prefer seeing a female doctor, it’s ok for a boy to prefer a male doctor. [/quote]

I've talked about this to my sister-in-law who's a pediatrician and according to her that switch really only goes one way. She said she sees a lot of girls for the first time when they're 10 or 11 and they wanted to switch to a female doctor, but she rarely ever loses male patients.

I think boys and girls are generally just different in that regard. Girls tend to be more modest while boys are a lot less likely to care. Plus, as a few of the previous replies have mentioned, a lot of boys actually prefer to have a woman doing intimate exams.[/quote]
