[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At some point you have to transfer from pediatrician to PCP that's for adults. College is an ideal transition. It might be nice for DD to have her first gyn appointment with a doctor near home, so the first one isn't urgent and her first internal exam is "at home." Otherwise it will be at the college health service or wherever kids at her college go. At college, she may get a UTI, an abcess, yeast infection, vaginitis EVEN WITHOUT BEING SEXUALLY ACTIVE and she will need to see a gyn there. Not wait until she's home . [/quote] This would actually be family doctor territory anyway. You don’t need a gyn for any of this and they tend to be harder to get into; you will end up with an NP or PA at the ob/gyn practice anyhow for this stuff. This is run of the mill stuff the general practitioners treat in student health clinic as well [/quote]
