Medical Disclaimer

The information provided by Weight Loss Doctors, including on this website and in our articles, is intended for general educational and informational purposes only. Please read this disclaimer carefully.

1. Not a substitute for professional advice

The content on this website is not medical advice and should not be treated as such. It is not a substitute for a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your individual circumstances. Always seek the advice of your doctor or another qualified provider with any questions you have about a medical condition or treatment.

2. Our consultations

When you use our consultation service, you receive advice from a registered medical professional based on the information you provide. The quality and safety of that advice depend on the accuracy and completeness of the information you give. A consultation through our service does not establish an ongoing general-practitioner relationship and does not replace your regular doctor for matters outside the scope of weight management.

3. Medication

Any medication referenced on this website should only be used under the guidance of a registered doctor who has assessed your health. Medication carries risks and possible side effects. Never start, stop, or change a treatment without professional medical advice, and always read the information leaflet that accompanies your medication.

4. Individual results vary

Weight loss outcomes differ from person to person and depend on many factors, including your starting point, your response to treatment, and your lifestyle. Any results, figures, or timelines mentioned are general illustrations and are not a guarantee of the results you will achieve.

5. No doctor-patient relationship through content

Reading our website or articles does not create a doctor-patient relationship. That relationship is formed only through a consultation with one of our registered doctors as part of our service.

6. Emergencies

This website and our service are not for medical emergencies. If you think you may have a medical emergency, contact your nearest emergency facility or emergency services immediately.

7. External links and references

We may reference third-party information or link to external websites. We do not control or guarantee the accuracy of third-party content, and any reliance you place on it is at your own risk.

8. Regulatory context

Our doctors are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, and treatment follows the relevant South African regulatory guidance. This disclaimer does not limit any rights you have under the laws governing the provision of medical services in South Africa.
