Obesity surgeons and and bariatric specialists: in Harley Street, London and across the UK
Healthier Weight is different to many other providers in that they offer continuity of care that is managed by a physician. This means that you will be seen by Dr David Ashton BSc MD, PhD at your initial consultation and your care will continue to be managed by Dr Ashton throughout your aftercare. This physician-led care, rather than surgeon-led care, ensures that you receive the treatment and care that is right for you, not that suits an individual surgeon. It also means that Healthier Weight's medical and patient care team can build a lifelong relationship with you and understand how best to help you, as an individual, achieve your weight loss goals.
With over 25 years experience in weight management, Medical Director Dr Ashton is one of the UK's most respected weight loss experts. The author of numerous articles, scientific papers, and book chapters, he is a regular contributor to national and international scientific conferences. He has also made numerous television and radio appearances and frequently lectures on a wide variety of medical topics.
Healthier Weight was started by Dr David Ashton because he felt the medical profession did not treat overweight and obese people well. “Too often patients are made to feel it’s their fault that they have a weight problem. We don’t blame patients – we help them.”
The Healthier Weight team includes specialist health educators who provide individual support and long-term care to both medical and surgical patients and some of the most experienced obesity surgeons in Europe.
