A Different Kind of Care for Young Patients

Adolescent weight management is not the same as adult care. Growing bodies, developing habits, family dynamics, and school routines all shape what a healthy plan looks like. Our board-certified obesity medicine physicians provide care that supports the whole family — not just the number on the scale.


We serve patients ages 12 and up. A parent or guardian is involved in every visit and in decisions about care.

What Family-Centered Care Looks Like at Nova

Health-First, Not Weight-First.

We focus on habits that support lifelong health — energy, sleep, nutrition, movement, and confidence — rather than short-term numbers on a scale.

Supportive, Not Shaming.

Our team is trained to talk with young patients in a way that is respectful and encouraging. We do not use body-shaming language and we do not make promises about appearance.

Family Involvement.

Parents and guardians participate in visits, understand the plan, and get support for how to help at home without turning food or exercise into a battle.

Medical Foundation.

Every plan starts with a physician evaluation, including labs and metabolic assessment when appropriate, so we understand your child's full health picture.

What Your Child's Plan May Include

Depending on the evaluation and family goals, a plan may include:



  • Age-appropriate nutrition guidance from a registered dietitian
  • Activity planning that matches your child's interests and school schedule
  • Behavioral health support to build confidence and healthy habits
  • Medical monitoring of any weight-related health markers
  • Family coaching on how to support your child's plan at home


Medication is rarely the starting point for adolescent care and is only considered in specific clinical situations with a full family discussion.

 Insurance and What to Expect at the First Visit

Most major insurance plans, including Medicare (for eligible patients), cover consultations at our Rockville office. Our team verifies your family's benefits before the first visit. Your child's first visit typically includes:

A personalized plan designed around your child and family

A clear next step — with room for the family's questions

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • What age do you see?

    We see patients ages 12 and up. For younger children, we recommend starting with your pediatrician.

  • Do parents attend appointments?

    Yes. A parent or guardian is part of every visit and every treatment decision.

  • Will my child be prescribed medication?

    Medication is rarely the first step and is only considered in specific clinical situations after a full evaluation and family discussion.

  • How is this different from seeing our pediatrician?

    Pediatricians provide excellent general care. Our team focuses specifically on obesity medicine, with additional board certification and dedicated time for nutrition, behavior, and medical management. We coordinate with your pediatrician throughout care.
