A member asked:

Concerned about my daughters weight issues. is there a doctor that specializes in this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Obesity: Any good pediatrician or family medicine doctor would be a good place to start for an evaluation of being over weight. They can make sure there are no biological causes and decide next steps such as nutritional counseling and/or psychologic counseling. They could also evaluate for health risk factors due to being overweight. In extreme cases they could discuss with you surgical options.
