Doctor can evaluate: Teens grow very little or none at all in height, when they are 18 years old. The few that do grow usually have a family history of getting taller in their late teens (other adults in the family showed a similar growth pattern). A primary care doctor can evaluate to make sure all the other health problems are taken care of. Sleep apnea and low testosterone are treated with the help of specialists.
