Private GP weight management in Stanmore: medically supervised plans that work

Introduction

Nearly one in three adults aim to lose weight each year, yet few receive medical oversight. At Mayfield Clinic we offer private GP weight management in Stanmore that starts with clinical assessment, not fad diets. Our GPs take time to understand your history, test for hidden causes and build a plan you can sustain — with appointments booked online via the Book now button. Members can also book by phone or WhatsApp.

Why choose a private GP for weight management in Stanmore?

Quick access to a named GP matters. With Mayfield Clinic you get fast appointments and continuity: regular reviews with the same doctor so your plan adapts as you progress. That consistency helps identify hormonal, metabolic or medication-related causes of weight gain; it also lets us spot and manage risk factors such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea.

What happens on your first visit?

We begin with a comprehensive weight loss consultation private to you. The GP will take a full medical history, measure body composition, check bloods and, where needed, request specialised tests. This is where medical weight management in Stanmore separates from general advice: decisions are evidence-based and personalised.

Tailored programmes, not one-size-fits-all

Your GP will build a plan combining medical supervision, nutrition guidance and behavioural strategies. Plans may include calorie-appropriate meal advice, physical activity targets, sleep optimisation and psychological support for emotional eating. Where clinically appropriate we also offer prescription medications to support safe weight loss — newer therapies can be highly effective when used alongside lifestyle change.

Monitoring and follow-up

Unlike many clinics that rush appointments, our longer consultation times let the GP explain the rationale for tests and treatments. You’ll have scheduled follow-ups to review progress, repeat blood tests and adjust medication or targets. This ongoing oversight is central to doctor supervised weight loss in Stanmore and ensures safety and sustained results.

How we investigate underlying causes

Weight is rarely only about calories. Our GPs assess thyroid function, insulin resistance, sex hormones and medications that may affect weight. We also consider mental health and eating behaviour. Where specialist input is needed we refer you appropriately — all coordinated by your named GP for continuity.

Prescription options and new treatments

When indicated, prescription weight management medications may be offered. These drugs are prescribed only after clinical assessment and with ongoing monitoring. They can accelerate progress when combined with diet and activity changes and are provided within a medically supervised framework tailored for Stanmore patients who attend our practice in Edgeware for treatment delivery.
