Pediatric obesity clinic
Compassionate medical weight care for tweens & teens
Evidence-based pediatric obesity medicine in Huntersville, NC — led by Dr Uma, board-certified in both Pediatrics and Obesity Medicine. Judgment-free care that treats the whole child, and often the whole family.
A medical approach, not a lecture
Childhood weight concerns are medical, not moral. Our pediatric obesity clinic pairs unhurried visits with real clinical tools: comprehensive metabolic evaluation, nutrition and lifestyle planning built around your family's actual life, and — when clinically appropriate — GLP-1 therapy for tweens and teens.
Because we're a DPC practice, follow-ups are frequent and accessible, and your child's physician is a text away between visits. Parents can be treated alongside their kids through our adult obesity medicine program — healthy change is easier as a household.
