Can I Go To The Doctor Alone At 17
Can a 17-year-old go to the doctor alone in Kelly? 3
I have doctor's appointments and my parents usually come with me but they can't come today and I wonder if they really need to be there when I know I can speak for myself. However, I am in Northern California and all I have to do is confirm my illness.
You can definitely get treatment. All necessary procedures require parental consent, which usually works well with a phone call. This is easy if you have parental insurance and you have seen this doctor. You have every right to your health, and if you do not want your parents to know about it, you have the right to privacy.
