I personally think our female doctor is aware or notices any big changes in our son as he grows. Not just physical changes but the behavioral changes that parents might not pick up on. She mentions things we have questions about. Yes, they do take notes on what our discussions are about but she seem to mention things that I never thought she would bring up again. Perhaps she is just a good note taker.

[/quote]  It's not required.  My 17 year old just had his annually check-up last month. I was there for most of the appointment and then she asked me to step out for the last part.  She asked him about sex and drugs and probably some other stuff.  [/quote]

I think every practice has slightly different rules. At ours, I step out for her to have a private conversation with him after the exam, but for the actual physical exam itself (boy bits included) they require a chaperone, and he prefers it to be be me in the room instead of a nurse. The first year the choice was offered, he picked the nurse, but she was quote "so hot" and it made it more embarrassing than if I had just stayed, so from that point on, it's always been me.[/quote]
