Meet the Multidisciplinary Team Supporting Your Weight Loss Journey

Successful weight management — whether surgical or medical — involves more than a single procedure or prescription. Long-term outcomes are best supported through a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach.

At our practice, patient care is led by Dr Suzanne Ma, a fellowship-trained bariatric and upper gastrointestinal surgeon on the Gold Coast. Dr Ma provides comprehensive assessment and management for both surgical and medical weight loss treatment options, ensuring each patient receives an individualised care plan tailored to their health goals and medical needs.

Supporting your journey, where appropriate, is a dedicated team of allied health professionals:

Accredited Practising Dietitians – Jacinta King & Gemma Campbell

Jacinta and Gemma provide evidence-based nutritional guidance before and after surgery, as well as for patients undertaking medical weight loss treatment. Nutritional support plays an important role in:

• Preparing for surgery

• Supporting recovery

• Preventing nutritional deficiencies

• Establishing sustainable, long-term eating habits

  
  

Dietetic input is tailored to each patient’s stage of treatment and individual health profile.

Psychologist Support – Pippa Wood

Psychological wellbeing is an important part of weight management. Pippa Wood provides professional psychological support where appropriate, helping patients navigate:

• Behavioural changes related to eating

• Emotional adjustment following weight loss

• Body image changes

• Long-term lifestyle transition

  
  

Addressing both physical and emotional health supports more sustainable outcomes.

A Holistic Approach to Care

Weight loss treatment is not a one-size-fits-all process. By combining surgical expertise, medical management, nutritional guidance, and psychological support, patients receive comprehensive care designed to support long-term health and wellbeing.
