Is it possible to go into the doctor office without your parent?!


Question: Is it possible to go into the doctor office without your parent!?
Like they schedule it and come, but do they actually HAVE to be in the doctor's office with you!. I mean those exams are pretty mortifing with your parent/s sitting in a chair watching!. I'm 15 BTW, but the last time I went to the doctors for a checkup I was like 13 (I know I should go for a checkup more often, but things happen!.!. lol)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
At 15 you are entitled to a bit of privacy! Explain to your parent that you don't want them in the doctor's office, be polite but firm and insistent, should do the trick!. Good luck with the check up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Even as a teenager you have the right to privacy!. Just tell you parent you want to be alone with the dr!. If that doesn't work just tell the dr or nurse!. They will probably escort you parent to the waiting room!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your Mom your a big boy now and she doesn't have to " sit in "!.
Also, tell the Doctor you want privacy without your Mom watching!. He'll know what you mean and what to tell your Mom!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nope you can ask to be alone, I think once your'e a certain age ( it depends on state) you can go in alone!. You can even schedule appointments without your parent knowing!
