Thank you very much for your words. I am pleased you found my advice unhurried and helpful. These matters need time and thoughtful management, taking into account and adapting any plan to each individual's circumstances. As a doctor working in weight management and metabolic health, I recognise the huge importance of being sensitive to a patient's feelings just as much as being able to help them find the best options to address their physical issues.

I am delighted with the follow-up I received from Dr Philip Bazire. This was my first medical experience via virtual appointments. The doctor was always very punctual and very attentive. He not only helped me with my weight management, but also considered my whole person.

Dr. Bazire is the best doctor I’ve ever had! He has helped me lose 15kg and I’m currently still losing more. He is always there to help me and guide me in this process. It hasn’t been easy but he has definitely made it fun and easier to get through.

Thank you very much for your comments. It is a pleasure for me to see how well you have done and continue to do. I look forward to continuing to support you and to help you ensure long-term success. At the end of the day, my aim is not only to help you lose weight in a healthy way (losing fat, not muscle), but also to show you how to maintain that in the long term, so you won't need my services again.

Thank you very much for your comments. I am delighted you are happy with the result so far. As I discuss with all my patients, this is always an ongoing process, first to get to a weight at which you feel comfortable and where we have sorted out any weight-related health issues, then to achieve a healthy balanced diet that will help you stay weight stable. Be assured of my continued support.
