Private GP Weight Management Stockport — Medical Weight Loss Support

Introduction

Research shows medically supervised programmes deliver better long‑term results than unsupported diets. If you live in Stockport and have tried every diet plan without lasting change, Mayfield Clinic's private GP weight management offers a different route: evidence‑led care, longer consultations and continuity with the same named doctor to build a plan that actually fits your life.

Why choose a private GP for weight management in Stockport?

Private GP weight management in Stockport combines rapid access to a doctor with thorough medical assessment. At Mayfield Clinic we prioritise fast appointments and regular follow‑ups so you’re seen quickly and consistently by the same clinician. That continuity matters; it allows your GP to fine‑tune treatment, spot trends and adjust medication or lifestyle plans as your progress evolves.

Local note

Many Stockport patients appreciate being seen close by; we deliver consultations from our Altrincham practice — easily reached from Stockport via the A560 and local rail links — and welcome patients across the area. For location details visit our Stockport page and our Altrincham practice.

Stockport patients will be seen at our Altrincham clinic: Altrincham.

What a medical weight loss assessment looks like

Initial appointments are longer than a standard GP visit. We take a full medical history, review current medications, screen for hormonal or metabolic causes of weight gain and check cardiovascular risk factors. Blood tests and other investigations are arranged when needed. This is not a one‑size‑fits‑all service; we build a plan around your health profile.

Personalised plans: diet, activity and medication

A GP‑led plan covers three pillars: tailored nutrition guidance, realistic activity targets and medical options when clinically appropriate. Where indicated, we prescribe evidence‑based weight management medications under close supervision. These treatments are used alongside lifestyle change, not as a standalone quick fix.

Why medication may help

In some patients, medications can support appetite control, improve metabolic markers and help achieve early weight loss that motivates sustained behaviour change. Your GP will explain benefits, risks and monitoring requirements before starting any prescription.

Continuity and ongoing monitoring

Regular check‑ups are built into our GP weight loss programme for Stockport patients to track progress, adjust medication and address psychological or social barriers to change. Seeing the same named doctor means small but important changes are noticed early — medication doses, side effects or plateaus are handled proactively.

“Fast access, longer consultations and continuity make medical weight management effective and safer.”
