A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Your doctor may be basing his advice on your growth chart, assuming you will stay within the same percentiles you have had all your life. This is a reasonable assumption and usually accurate. Using the calculation based on parental heights you would expect (64.5+65-5) / 2 = 62.25 or 5"2.5 inches.
