Please see my earlier comment. I was very dissatisfied with how Dr. Rowlands approached the issue of weight with my child. She immediately focused on "preventing obesity," despite the fact that [omitted] is within norms for height and weight, and emphasized watching weight to [omitted] without paying attention to any other indicators of [omitted] life (playing outside, eating a variety of foods, menarchy, etc.). She said all of this in front of [omitted] without checking with me first--[omitted] has anxiety and is highly sensitive, and this discussion from Dr. Rowlands, which I could not stop, caused [omitted] to have a full breakdown in the car after her appointment with Dr. Rowlands. Dr. Rowlands immediately focusing on prevention of obesity furthers the cycle of young girls being obsessed with their weight and does not take account of the fact that people can be healthy at any size. Weight is not an approximation for health, and I do not appreciate Dr. Rowlands treating [omitted] as though her weight is the most important thing about her, and that the main goal of health should be preventing obesity.
