Weight Maintenance Evaluation & Management

A Proactive Approach to Lifelong Health

At Pediatric Associates Medical Group, our team is committed to helping children and teens build strong, resilient bodies that support long-term health and wellness. If you're concerned about your child's growth patterns, eating habits, or metabolic health, we offer comprehensive evaluations and supportive care tailored to each child’s unique needs.

WHAT IS A WEIGHT MAINTENANCE EVALUATION?

Our weight maintenance evaluation goes beyond simply tracking body weight. We assess overall growth, nutrition, physical activity, and medical history to identify any potential health risks. This includes reviewing your child’s height, weight trends, body composition, family history, sleep quality, and mood.

This process is not about body image—it’s about building a healthy foundation for the future.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE VISIT?

Your child will be seen by a trained medical provider for a thorough assessment. The visit may include:

• Review of growth charts and medical history
• Nutrition screening and eating behavior discussion
• Activity and screen-time habits review
• Mental health screening (e.g., stress, self-esteem, emotional eating)
• Physical exam and lab work if needed

We offer ongoing management, including:

• Nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian (when appropriate)
• Referrals to physical therapy, mental health, or other specialists
• Medication support if clinically indicated
• Lifestyle coaching focused on healthy habits and long-term change

OUR PHILOSOPHY



We aim to empower young people to thrive. Our goal is to optimize health and performance, support mental wellness, and create sustainable habits that will serve your child well into adulthood.
