About Core Bariatrics

Led by Expertise. Designed Around You.

Core Bariatrics was established to provide a more connected, patient-centred approach to weight loss surgery where every aspect of care is aligned, coordinated, and tailored to the individual.

At the centre of this model is Dr Hassan Malik, a fellowship-trained bariatric and HPB surgeon with extensive experience in both routine and complex surgical care.

Philosophy

Beyond Surgery

We believe the best outcomes come from treating the whole patient not just performing a procedure.

Weight loss surgery is a powerful tool but long-term success depends on:

• Understanding behaviour and lifestyle

• Building sustainable habits

• Ongoing support and guidance

That’s why our care extends well beyond the operating theatre.
