Medically-Supervised Weight Loss for Kids Ages 5-12
As a parent, you’ve made your home the healthiest it can be for your kids, from limiting screen time to filling your fridge with fresh fruits and vegetables. Even when you set a healthy foundation for your family, your child may struggle with their weight for a variety of reasons. Genetics, stress, behavioral disorders, medications, and socio-economic factors can all cause unexpected weight gain and require a customized approach to care built on trust and compassion.

A One-of-a-Kind Kids Weight Loss Clinic in St. Louis
Healthy, sustainable pediatric weight management requires regular, ongoing care with a dedicated medical provider. Unfortunately, many traditional clinics have long wait lists for first-time visits and limit the time doctors can spend with their patients.
Evora for Kids is different. Because we are a direct-pay practice, your child is always our top priority. With longer, more frequent visits, support from a full team of wellness experts, and direct access to your child’s provider, your family gets first-class care that delivers the best outcome for your child.
