Physicians who specialize in pediatric weight management focus on helping young kids, adolescents and their families to identify and make healthy choices that will put them on the path to maintaining appropriate weight and activity levels throughout their lives. From nutritional counseling and education to screening and medical treatment for weight-related illnesses such as obesity and diabetes, our doctors provide the tools and encouragement that kids need to grow up with a positive self-image. Recognizing that some children have medical, psychosocial and genetic factors that can contribute to weight gain, our doctors treat the “whole patient” rather than just eating behaviors. With the help of on-staff, licensed dieticians and other experts, they can also show parents how to make affordable, healthy meals that encourage beneficial family time while helping kids have more energy, better concentration in school and fewer health problems as they grow.
