If I do ask for a referral to a pdoc, I would assume that my T would send me to one who treats adolescents. She must know the good ones in the area. And my T also said that a pdoc wouldn't be covered under my mom's insurance.

My pediatrician works in a practice with I don't know, 4 other pediatricians or something. My sister sees another one in the same practice who she really likes, and we've thought about me switching to her, but I'm not sure where that stands.
