Took the first step with Dr Al-Habbal's weight management plan after struggling with my BMI for years. The team at Williamstown made me feel supported from the initial consult at 93 Ferguson Street, and the follow-up care has been fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone considering laparoscopic options.
After my gastric band adjustment, I finally started seeing real changes. Dr Al-Habbal explained everything clearly and the post-op check-ins have been thorough without being pushy. Proud to say I’m down a couple of dress sizes and more energetic.
Relief is the word I’d use. I’d been unsure about surgery, but the consultation at Williamstown was honest and practical. The nutritional guidance and ongoing support helped me stay on track, and I feel in control again.
Very professional team. Dr Al-Habbal's calm approach and clear explanations about laparoscopic options made the whole process less daunting. Location in Williamstown is convenient, with good follow-up care.
I'm so grateful for the care I received. The weight management counselling gave me realistic goals and the dietary advice has been practical for a busy lifestyle here in the western suburbs.
Kept me informed every step of the way, from the initial assessment at Ferguson Street to the post-op appointments. The team’s approach made me feel supported and confident about my decision to proceed with surgery.
Excellent experience all around. The hospital team explained the gastric band adjustments clearly, and the ongoing follow-up has helped me stay on track with my weight goals. Would recommend to anyone in Melbourne’s inner west.
