Hey angel....
If you're interview is scheduled for a date after you have turned 18, I would just show up alone. Once you're 18, legally you are an adult and the P-doc can't say much about it other than he won't treat you. I don't think he can decline to treat you if you don't bring a parent then, it would be patient abandonment and there are some laws in place for doctors to protect patients/clients. If he refuses to see you without a parent present after you're 18, you can report him to the medical board. If he refuses to see you without your parent in the room before you're 18, I believe you can report him for a HIPPA violation, as this violates your right to keep your health information private and you are old enough to make that request.
Good luck to you.
