As young adults head off to college and embrace independence, many face the question of when to transition from a pediatrician to an adult primary care physician.
SouthCoast Health pediatrician Dr. Micah Riegner and primary care physician Dr. Danielle Mankin joined WTOC to share their insights on this important stage of care. They discussed factors such as patient comfort, readiness to talk about adult health concerns, and the benefits of continuity with a pediatrician until age 21. Savannah local Mason Riegner also offered his perspective as a young adult navigating this transition.
