She works full time at Australian Metabolic and Obesity Surgery (AMOS) both consulting with patients and assisting in surgery. Chronic Disease management has always been the main focus of general medical practice so the move into her special interest area of Overweight and Obesity management in 2005 was a natural transition. Since then Dr Patroney has gained vast experience in assessing and managing patients with Obesity and Weight related medical conditions, specifically, assessment and preparation of patients for bariatric surgery, long term after-care including behavioural, nutritional and metabolic support and monitoring.
