Dr Helen Patroney
MBBS, Bariatric Physician/General Practitioner

"Doctor who is ideally placed to play a key role in evaluation and ongoing care of medically or surgically managed patients with obesity"

Dr Helen Patroney BMBS graduated from the Flinders University of South Australia in 1979 and completed her Internship and General Residency training at Flinders Medical Centre and the Repatriation General Hospital. She has worked in General Medical family practice since 1983 in Adelaide and Melbourne. Management of obesity related medical problems has been a fundamental part of her general practice. Since her involvement with Adelaide Obesity Surgery commencing 2003, and now with Innovations Healthcare, Dr Patroney is pleased to be a part of this complete integrated management team for individuals with obesity and related medical complications.

Her role at Adelaide Obesity Surgery consists of an initial appointment with every client to assess the general medical and social issues relating to their weight problems. After clients have seen the entire AOS team, a second appointment with Dr Bessell will integrate the input from the whole team and he will prescribe recommendations for progression to surgery for weight loss and maintenance. Ongoing reviews are arranged as necessary to ensure success.
