I have felt so lost and lonely for most part of the last decade with perimenopausal symptoms. Along with mood swings and brain fog, symptoms finally came to a head where I was no longer to function day to day. Meeting Dr Charlton was the best thing that has happened to me, and I finally felt heard, and she took the time to tailor a plan that suited me. I cannot thank her enough for all her support, I felt she had saved my life. I am also a breast cancer patient and now have found the help I need. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Dr Charlton.
Being able to access a Dr who is prepared to listen, explore, encourage and suggest is such a godsend these days. Visiting Dr Avi Charlton today has set my mind at ease, made me feel more secure in taking control of my future health concerns. I am looking forward to implementing her suggestions and protocols and hopefully producing some good results in the near future.
Dr Avi Charlton explains clearly what the Low Carb Lifestyle is all about. She is pleasant to talk with and very knowledgeable on the current medical research on healthy lifestyle. Highly recommended to anyone seeking for a low carb general practitioner in Melbourne.

Thank you for your review Cynthia. At Melbourne Low Carb Clinic , I like to listen properly to the concerns of the patients. Glad you have found it helpful.
It's rare to find a GP that is truly interested in prevention of chronic disease through the optimisation of metabolic health. Some of the mainstream medical advice from more mainstream GPs for common medical issues is plain wrong. As a well researched client of Avi's, I believe that she does her job properly, which includes reading medical research papers / trials so that she is giving out appropriate and correct medical advice. She will also specify and encourage lifestyle and dietary changes that promote good health in addition to pharmacuetical prescriptions whenever they may truly be helpful. In short, Avi is a GP who will put her client's interests first and provide a quality service that you will not get from a bulk billing centre just trying to push through volumes. It's worth paying for her time if you are serious about good health.
Dr Charlton is extremely pleasant and caring while also being thorough and taking the time to obtain a full history and work with the patient to improve their health with a more holistic approach to treatment that includes lifestyle changes and preventative measures. I have just started my journey at the clinic but am very impressed already and look forward to the changes to come. Low carb lifestyles have helped so many people worldwide. I feel privileged to have access to a clinic like this so close to my home.
I have followed Melbourne low carb clinic and Dr Charlton for over 12 months on social media. After many months procrastination I clicked that "book a discovery call" link and made the appointment (so easy!). Dr Charlton was easy to talk to and ask questions and i even had some ah ha moments. I really felt heard and I really felt hopeful that her practise and her Metabolic Program are the missing link in my health and wellbeing journey. I have committed to the program and I have my first face to face appointment booked in the next few days. Do yourself a favour and book your discovery call!
Dr Charlton is a very knowledgeable GP doctor and looks at things both preventatively and urgent. Very kind and courteous and as a patient this is great. Treats you like a real person, not like a number like large clinics do.
Her understanding of metabolic health has really awakened my thinking and allowed me to expand my knowledge immensely to improve my own health as well as understanding things practically in the real world.
Thank you Dr Charlton!

Thank you for your kind words! You are the person who is inspiring! All the best to you.
I love having access to a GP who understands blood test results in the context of someone following a Carnivore diet. Dr Charlton highlights for me any small improvements in these markers, which helps me to have patience with my bodies cyclic process of healing. I feel appreciated, supported and understood.
I live 280 km from Melbourne and have chosen to travel to see Dr Avi Charlton who is passionate about supporting her patients with an interest in the low carb life style way of living. Dr Charlton listens, advises and shares her knowledge with her patients, a rare attribute compared with most GP's. Tele health between personal visits is wonderful.
