Maxine P. Bonham is an endocrinologist based in Notting Hill, VIC, working from Level 1, 264 Ferntree Gully Rd. Endocrinology can sound a bit heavy, but the day-to-day work is pretty real: helping people manage health issues linked to hormones and metabolism.
Maxine looks after people dealing with ongoing metabolic conditions. That can include type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome. She also works with families and kids when weight and related health risks are part of the picture, including obesity in children.
Weight and body health are a big part of her work. She helps patients with obesity and abdominal obesity, and she also looks at how these issues can connect to things like energy levels and long-term risk. At times, this care overlaps with other common problems, such as obstructive sleep apnoea, osteoarthritis, and muscle atrophy, where the body’s strength and day-to-day function matter just as much as lab results.
Some patients come in after major life changes too. Maxine supports people during and around pregnancy when gestational diabetes is involved. She also helps with post-menopausal osteoporosis, along with osteoporosis more broadly, and manages nutrition and malnutrition concerns where diet and body needs have become a challenge.
In many cases, the goal is simple: make a clear plan, check progress, and adjust when things don’t go to plan. Maxine focuses on practical, steady care that fits around real life. She understands that treatment often involves more than one step, and that people want support that feels calm and straightforward.
To book care or ask about appointments, you can visit her clinic at Level 1, 264 Ferntree Gully Rd, Notting Hill. If you’re dealing with hormone or metabolism-related health concerns, Maxine can help you sort through what’s going on and work out the next best step.
