Should I take my daughter to a doctor if she is obese?
Well, it would depend on age, weight, and height. Generally those > 18 years with BMI > 30 should first be referred to a Registered Dietitian for an assessment and possible recommendations for weight loss. If BMI > 40 they should be referred to a bariatric center. Alternatively, an assessment of risk by one’s PCP may suffice. Thank you, PEL READ MORE

Get to know Internist Dr. Paul Lemanski, who serves patients in Albany, New York.
A seasoned internist and lifestyle medicine physician, Dr. Lemanski works with patients at his private practice in Albany, New York. His goal is to use lifestyle improvement to achieve the best health outcome and a non-medicated life, whenever possible.
Back in the early days of his academic career, he graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology. He earned his medical degree from New York Medical College, and then completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at St. Vincent’s Hospital and Medical Center.
Distinguished as a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP), the doctor is board–certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.
In good standing with a number of professional organizations, Dr. Lemanski is an active member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the Medical Society of the State of New York, the Medical Society of the County of Albany, and the Health and Public Policy Committee of the New York ACP. He also serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at Albany Medical College, and has participated as an investigator in clinical research trials including landmark cholesterol lowering trials such as PROVE IT and JUPITER.
Throughout his career, his experience with lifestyle medicine began with his Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University. Later, while practicing at Community Health Plan (CHP)/Kaiser-Permanente, he served as the Clinical Chief for Cardiovascular Health for Kaiser-Permanente’s Northeast division, where he developed and directed the Lifestyle Program, a 6-month program of diet, exercise and lifestyle change for patients with cardiovascular disease. He also developed and directed for General Electric a lifestyle based cardiovascular risk reduction program called HEARTPOWER.
Thereafter, Dr. Lemanski joined Prime Care Physicians and the Center for Preventive Medicine and Cardiovascular Health, where he managed complex cholesterol patients for their cardiology division, Albany Associates in Cardiology. To help in managing such patients, he also developed and directed the CARDIOFIT cardiovascular risk reduction program, a lifestyle based program for weight control and heart health.
Finally, at CapitalCare Medical Group/Community Care Physicians, he developed and directed the LiFE program (Lifestyle Improvement for Everyone) and directed the Centers for Disease Control certified National Diabetes Prevention Program.
Since 2004, Dr. Lemanski has written a bi-monthly column in Adirondack Sport and Fitness magazine titled the Non-Medicated Life, which emphasizes the efficacy of diet, exercise and a healthy lifestyle to avoid unnecessary medication. He has also participated in programs on diet and lifestyle for WAMC Medical Monday with Dr. Alan Chartock, and WMHT TV HealthLink with Benita Zahn.
