Bay Area Community Health - Liberty Clinic
Ana Lisa Gomez Took my 13 year old for a physical and the doctor, with no thought or hesitation, told my daughter she is overweight.
I do not think telling any teenager they are overweight is okay. Things that could cause self esteem issues/body image issues, should be discussed with the parent away from the child.
My daughter is not overweight nor does she look like it, but ever since we left she cant stop repeating what the doctor said.
When I told the dr to not say that, she said she didnt have any other words, but she was missing the point; we dont comment on teens looks or body- its obvious.
