What kind of doctor would be the best for helping me (an obese adolescent) lose weight safely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would start: with your primary physician. He or she may work with you or may refer to a nutritionist. Doubt a bariatric consult would be indicated at this time. Take care.
