Doody's 5-star review "This is a superb clinically relevant resource put together by the AAP editors with special expertise in the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. The resource is valuable for providers and patients for clinical management and education and should be available for use wherever providers care for pediatric patients in the outpatient and inpatient environment. It is highly recommended." - Joseph Russell Hageman, MD, (Comer Children's Hospital)
