My son is 13 and is 5 foot 2 inches and only weighs 75lbs. he was up to 80 lbs but lost 5 lbs in two months. should he be seen by a specialist?

Start: Start with Pediatrician or Family Physician. Remember no two children grow at the same rate. If your son's Physician feels there's a problem, referral may be in order, but based on your family history this may not be an issue.
