It’s recommended to have at least once a year visit pretty from birth for the rest of your life.

I will ask our pediactrian, my oldest just turned 12 so maybe it has changed. However, in our province if you have a paediatrician you must see them at least once every 18 months in order for them to remain a patient otherwise you need a new GP referral. Plus, I will stick to the once a year until otherwise advise becuas it a good habit to tech young adult that they should go for checkups and not whent hey are just sick. A lot of young adults feel they are invincible and don’t go to drs when they need to too.wirebound wrote: ↑ Actually the recommendation has changed: https://choosingwiselycanada.org/health-check-ups/
My kids stopped going for annual 'checkups' at around age 12 at the recommendation of their doctor. That said, they still need some shots so we schedule those.

This is the recommendation or personal opinion, if you want, of a very experienced physician (I do not remember his name, unfortunately) for generally healthy people & I agree with him.Macx2mommy wrote: ↑ Where did this guideline come from? Or is this made up?
