Specialists in the surgical treatment of obesity and long-term weight loss
Sea Change takes a holistic approach to weight loss and ongoing weight management
Sea Change takes a holistic approach to weight loss and ongoing weight management as we believe this is key to long-term success. We work closely with local GPs and other specialists, and our onsite team includes a dietitian, psychologist and clinical nurse specialist.
Our surgeons Dr Mark Gately & Dr Martin McLeod were specialty trained in General Surgery in the Hunter Region and had subspecialty training in dedicated bariatric centres in Australia and internationally. They are highly trained to perform a variety of weight loss surgery procedures.
