Obesity Clinics

Harley Street Obesity Clinics

Obesity clinics tackle the problem of being clinically overweight with a multi-disciplinary approach. Obesity specialists investigate, treat and manage the person who has been diagnosed as obese. A specialist team usually involves gastroenterologists, psychologists, nutritionists and lipidologists. Depending on the severity of the weight, help is available in the form of medicine, endscopic investigation or even surgery. Obesity clinics offer assistance on the obesity itself and the complications and disorders that can arise as a result of this.

After six years of undergraduate medical training these experts received focused training in the fields nutrition, eating disorders or gastroenterology and are members of the Royal College of Surgeons, Physicians or Psychiatry, specialising in obesity and related complications.

Obesity can create a variety of additional health problems including heartburn, depression, high blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes, cancers of the digestive system and diabetes.

Those who visit an obesity clinic are interested in tackling their weight as it has become a risk to your health.
