I don’t really recall… I know I saw our pediatrician when I was 11, but I remember seeing the family practice doctors in High School. I don’t know why we switched, but I think the pediatrician moved elsewhere. Similarly, I loved my son’s pediatrician, whom I found by meeting his wife at the La Leche League meetings. They moved to another state when my son was ~2. I just switched him to the family practice I went to – I loved my Dr. there, too. Then we moved, but the practice had a location that was also a walk-in urgent care – Perfect for my accident-prone boy. The receptionist was mother to a classmate of his, and we became friends. They are still listed as my PCP, because they have >20 years of records, but we’ve moved ~40 minutes away. Thankfully, we’re pretty healthy and don’t need referrals.
