Weight Loss Clinic
Are you ready to make a change?
We understand that weight loss can be very challenging when you are working on your own. With so much misinformation in the media, it’s hard to know what is the right solution for you.
Our clinic is patient focused and led by medical professionals who understand how your body functions. We will work with you in achieving your weight loss goals.
What's involved?
For best results we recommend a 12 week program with visits scheduled initially on a 2 week interval followed by monthly checkins.
For each visit you will need to allow approx. 1.5 hours in the clinic as you will spend time with our Nurse, GP and Dietitian.
The Nurse will collect basic observations, body composition and other relevant health information.
Dr Rahmani will draw on the information gathered and in discussion with you make an assessment of your condition and provide recommendatinos to reach your goals.
Julie will discuss lifestyle and diet and together with the Doctor’s recommendations will work with you to develop a sustainable treatment plan.
Why do I need to see Allied Health Practitioners as part of this clinic?

Therefore for best results our clinic brings together the expertise of a GP, Dietitian, Psychologist, Exercise Physiotherapist and Personal Trainer to address all aspects for you to achieve your goals.
