Our First Meeting

The first step you take towards losing weight and improving the quality of your life is often the hardest to take. 

When you decide to find out more about weight loss surgery, you can arrange an appointment with Dr Links in one of his consulting rooms or via video consultation for an initial assessment and discussion of how you can achieve your goals. You will need to bring in a referral letter from your GP so that a portion of your fee can be rebated by Medicare. More Information visit our First Visit page.
