At his pediatric practice, Dr. Mahesh Katre supports families with a gentle, respectful approach to weight-related concerns. The focus is never on numbers alone, but on your child’s overall health, growth, confidence, and happiness.
These concerns can be influenced by many factors such as growth patterns, nutrition, activity levels, medical conditions, or emotional well-being.
Every child is different, and what is normal for one child may not be the same for another.
Early guidance helps address these concerns in a healthy and supportive way.
Care is calm, personalised, and child-centred.
The goal is to build healthy habits that last, not quick or restrictive solutions.

Care always respects the child’s age, personality, and family lifestyle.
