For families navigating adolescent obesity, access to medical care should offer more than convenience. It should provide clarity, thoughtful guidance, and a personal relationship with a clinical team.

California Trim Clinic's TeenHealthRx concierge program brings that approach to eligible families across Georgia, combining individualized medical evaluations with ongoing physician oversight and structured support for parents and teenagers.

Families can explore the program and arrange a complimentary discovery call at TeenHealthRx.com.

At the center of the program is a clear clinical principle: adolescent obesity is a medical condition, not a reflection of character, discipline, or willpower. TeenHealthRx approaches care with that understanding, placing each teenager's health, development, and dignity at the forefront.

A More Personal Approach to Adolescent Care

Teenage weight concerns can leave parents uncertain about when to seek medical guidance, which options to consider, and how to support their child without adding pressure.

TeenHealthRx is designed to bring clarity to those decisions.

Overseen by Dr. Lynda Szczech, MD, the program begins with an individualized medical evaluation. Each teenager's medical history, growth, development, and overall health inform the physician's assessment and recommendations.

The concierge model emphasizes continuity and communication. Structured weekly check-ins give parents and teenagers regular opportunities to discuss progress, raise questions, and share concerns requiring clinical attention.

Individualized treatment planning, secure communication, ongoing safety monitoring, and prescription coordination, when medically indicated, support the care experience.

The focus remains on long-term health, with recommendations shaped by clinical need and the circumstances of each family.

A National Health Concern That Deserves Individual Attention

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately one in five U.S. children and adolescents ages 2-19 had obesity during 2017-March 2020. Among adolescents ages 12-19, prevalence reached 22.2%.

Behind those figures are families seeking informed, compassionate guidance.

TeenHealthRx encourages parents to begin with a qualified medical evaluation--one that considers the teenager's broader health and provides space for a thoughtful conversation about appropriate care.

Treatment recommendations prioritize health and developmental needs. Medication may be considered when medically appropriate, but a consultation does not guarantee a prescription.

Concierge Care, Accessible Across Georgia

Through virtual appointments, TeenHealthRx serves eligible families throughout Georgia, including Atlanta, Alpharetta, Marietta, Savannah, Athens, Augusta, and surrounding communities.

The virtual format allows medical evaluations and follow-up to fit more comfortably around school, work, and family commitments, while reducing the need for travel.

Clinical services are provided by physicians licensed in the state where the patient is located, with care and monitoring requirements determined individually.

Begin With a Conversation

Parents are invited to schedule a complimentary discovery call to learn about the TeenHealthRx experience, services, and pricing.

For families who wish to proceed, a $99 physician consultation provides an individualized assessment of medical eligibility and recommended next steps.
