A member asked:
Which kind of doctor can people consult about obesity-related health concerns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obesity Doctor.: Mainly, people should consult with a Registered Dietitian for nutritional advice. If it comes to it, a PMD can prescribe weight loss medications with discretion, and a Bariatric surgeon can discuss surgical options for weight control.
