[quote=Anonymous]Ped here. I always include the family initially and ask if they want family or a nurse in the room during the genital check, but after I complete the exam and have done the initial round of questions, I also ask the parent to please step out so that their teenager can have a space to speak privately in case there are any concerns or questions they’d like to address. I don’t usually get pushback on this, although rarely there will be parents who don’t feel like it’s a reasonable ask. For myself, once I could drive at 16, I remember going to the pediatrician solo growing up. I do ask my front desk staff to have the parent submit written consent for vaccinations and physical exams if they are sending their children solo now. [/quote]
