Weight Loss Clinic & Weight Management in Surfers Paradise
GP-Led Weight Loss Support, Built Around You
At My Doctors Clinic Surfers Paradise, weight management starts with a proper medical conversation, not a meal plan handed over the counter. Our GPs look at the whole picture: your health history, current medicines, sleep, stress, blood results and the conditions that often travel with extra weight, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and joint pain. From there we put together a weight management program that suits your life and that you can keep up long term.
Our dietitians, physiotherapist and podiatrist, plus an onsite pathology collection centre, all work from the same building at Piazza 16 on Surfers Paradise Boulevard. That means you can see your weight loss doctor, have your blood tests taken and meet a dietitian without travelling across the Gold Coast between appointments.
A Weight Loss Clinic on the Gold Coast That Joins the Dots
Most weight loss programs on the Gold Coast focus on one thing. Ours brings your GP, your dietitian and your test results together, so every part of the plan points the same way.
Doctor-Led Assessment
Every program begins with a longer GP appointment, a health check and a plan written for you.
Dietitians Onsite
Accredited Practising Dietitians work in the clinic, so nutrition advice links straight back to your GP.
Pathology in the Building
Blood tests are collected onsite, so results reach your doctor quickly and nothing gets lost.
Open 7 Days
Weekday, weekend and public holiday appointments, with walk-ins welcome.
Is a Weight Management Consultation Right for You?
You do not need a referral, or a particular number on the scales, to talk to a GP about your weight. Many people book a weight loss consultation because the usual advice has stopped working, or because a recent check-up, such as a heart health check, showed a change in their blood pressure, blood sugar or cholesterol.
Extra weight is rarely about willpower alone. Hormones, medicines, sleep, shift work, injuries and stress all play a part, and a doctor is well placed to find out which ones apply to you. If you are searching for a weight loss GP near Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Main Beach or Southport, our team is a short trip away.
A consultation may help if:
- Your weight has crept up over several years and diets have not held
- Your BMI or waist measurement sits above the healthy range
- You have type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or insulin resistance
- High blood pressure or cholesterol was flagged at a check-up
- You snore, sleep poorly or feel tired through the day
- Sore knees, hips or back make exercise harder
- Your weight changed with PCOS, pregnancy or menopause
- Stress or low mood is driving how you eat
How Our Weight Management Program Works
Four clear steps, at a pace that suits you. Select a step to see what happens.
Book a longer appointment so there is time to talk properly. Your GP will go through your medical and family history, current medicines (some can affect appetite and weight), sleep, mood, work hours and activity levels.
We record your weight, BMI, waist circumference and blood pressure as a starting point, and talk about what you want to change and why it matters to you.
Your GP may arrange tests such as blood glucose or HbA1c, cholesterol, liver function, thyroid, iron studies and kidney function. These help pick up problems like prediabetes or fatty liver that change the plan.
Samples are collected at our onsite pathology centre, and eligible adults can combine this visit with a heart health check.
Together you set goals that are realistic for your body and your week. For many people, losing even 5 to 10 percent of body weight can improve blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol.
Your plan may include a referral to our dietitian for eating changes, our physiotherapist for an exercise program suited to your joints and fitness, or our podiatrist if foot pain is holding you back. Where it is clinically appropriate, your GP will also discuss other treatment options with you.
Regular follow-up appointments keep you on track. We repeat measurements, review blood results and adjust the plan when life, work or health changes.
If you have a long-term condition, your GP can fold your weight goals into a chronic condition management plan so everything is reviewed in one place.
The Allied Health Team Behind Your Plan
Weight management works best as a team effort. These clinicians work alongside our GPs in the same clinic.
Dietitians in Surfers Paradise
Hossein Khosravi and Ikbal Saade are Accredited Practising Dietitians. They help with realistic meal planning, label reading, and eating for diabetes, heart health and PCOS. Looking for a nutritionist on the Gold Coast? Start here.
Physiotherapy
Benjamin Darcy builds exercise programs around sore joints, past injuries or low fitness, so moving more feels possible rather than painful.
Medicare, Costs and Dietitian Visits
If you have a chronic condition such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease or osteoarthritis, your GP may be able to prepare a GP Chronic Condition Management Plan. Eligible patients can then claim Medicare rebates for up to five allied health visits each calendar year, which can include dietitian, physiotherapy and podiatry sessions. Our chronic disease management page explains how the plan works and what changed in July 2025.
Weight on its own does not always meet the criteria, so your GP will talk you through the options. Dietitian appointments can also be booked privately, and many private health insurance extras policies contribute towards them. For current fees and billing details, visit our appointment booking page.
What to bring to your first visit
- Your Medicare card and any concession card
- A list of your current medicines and supplements
- Recent blood test results, if you have them
- Private health insurance details for dietitian visits
- A few notes on what you have tried before
Weight and Your Health at Every Stage of Life
Women
PCOS, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause can all change how and where you carry weight. Our GPs look at hormones and life stage, not just calories. See women’s health and pregnancy care.
Men
Weight around the middle is linked with heart disease, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea and low energy. A men’s health check is a simple place to start.
Heart and Metabolism
Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and fatty liver often improve together as weight comes down. Read about the early warning signs of type 2 diabetes.
Mind and Mood
Stress, low mood and emotional eating can make change harder. If that sounds familiar, ask your GP about a mental health care plan.
Medicines and Surgery: What to Expect
Some people ask about medicines or surgery as part of their weight loss. These options are not right for everyone. Whether either is suitable can only be decided in a consultation that looks at your health, your history, and the possible benefits, risks and side effects.
If surgery may be an option, your GP can refer you to a bariatric surgeon on the Gold Coast for a specialist assessment, and continue to look after your general health before and after. If a medicine is prescribed, our pharmacy in the same building can help with dispensing questions.
Whichever path you take, nutrition, movement, sleep and regular reviews remain the foundation of non-surgical weight loss and of keeping the weight off.
