At Hunter Weight Loss & Upper GI, we understand the demands of a busy life, which is why we offer the convenience of telehealth appointments while recognising that face-to-face interactions are often preferred. While nothing replaces the personal connection of in-person consultations, our telehealth services enable us to come alongside you in the comfort of your own space, ensuring that your journey to health is seamlessly integrated into your lifestyle.
There will obviously be some appointments that we would recommend are face to face. Whether you need to use a virtual appointment or a face-to-face option, our dedicated team is committed to providing the highest quality care, offering support, guidance, and encouragement every step of the way. Your well-being is our priority, and at Hunter Weight Loss & Upper GI, we embrace flexibility to ensure that your health journey fits harmoniously into your busy schedule.
