The wise parent will let the 16-year old see the doctor, alone. So that the teen can ask about things they may be too embarrassed to mention, with a parent present.
During an intimate exam, a nurse will be present. And should be insisted upon, if not.

No, the parent doesn't have to. I went to my first gynecologist appointment at 16 and no one went in with me.

some clinics do not require a parent to be with the child, call ahead of time and find out before making an appointment

Not in the US, for privacy of the patient.
