Adolescent and Young Adult Weight Management Program

 

If your child needs help losing and managing his or her weight, our team is ready to assist. Our Adolescent and Young Adult Weight Management Program is a consultation service for teens and young adults ages 12 to 25 who are obese. We evaluate and manage patients’ weight and weight-related conditions on an ongoing basis.

Adolescent and Young Adult Weight Management Program, Adolescent Medicine, Newton-Wellesley Hospital
2014 Washington Street
Newton, MA 02462
Phone: 617-643-1201

Specialized treatment for weight loss

  • Behavioral modification, including individual nutritional counseling and group drop-in nutrition sessions
  • Weight loss medications
  • Referral for weight loss surgery when appropriate, as well as pre-surgery management

Comprehensive evaluation

Your child will have a comprehensive evaluation as part of their care from us. This evaluation includes:

  • Assessment of your child’s current nutrition habits
  • Fasting laboratory tests, including blood tests
  • Medical history and any current health conditions

We may refer your child for additional testing, such as:

  • Physical therapy consultation for a personalized exercise program
  • Psychological assessment by a specialist in child and adolescent psychology and/or eating pathology
  • Sleep study

Partnerships

We occasionally work with other programs at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Mass General for Children. These programs include:

  • The Physical Therapy Department at Newton-Wellesley Hospital for consultations and personalized exercise programs to help with weight management
  • The Center for Weight Loss Surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital for patients who are 18 and older and who would benefit from weight loss surgery
  • The Adolescent Weight Loss Surgery Program at Mass General for Children for patients who are under 18 and who would benefit from weight loss surgery

Referrals

We welcome new patients and accept health insurance. Your child must be referred to us by his or her pediatrician or another health care provider, such as a:

  • Dietitian
  • Medical specialist
  • Therapist

Our new-patient evaluations take place on Wednesday mornings. We schedule two-week follow-up appointments on Wednesday afternoons to review lab results and weight management treatment plans.

Please call us at 617-643-1201 or 617-243-6585 for more information.
