Dr Samra conducts regular clinical research as part of his practice. Depending on your problem, you may be asked to complete outcome scores to track your condition.

A GP/Specialist referral is required to see Dr Samra as a Specialist, and this provides a higher Medicare rebate. For complex patients with underlying medical problems, a GP referral is essential to ensure comprehensive medical care. Referrals from Allied Health practitioners (podiatrists, chiropractors, physiotherapists etc.) are welcomed but they are not valid for Medicare purposes, so a Medical doctor must provide the referral.

Dr Samra regularly teaches Sports Medicine trainees , who may request to sit in for experience. You have every right to say no to having another doctor or physiotherapist observe our consultation.

If you are seeing Dr Samra for a “Metabolic Consult” (weight loss or performance-related), you will require a 45-minute Initial Consultation. Please complete the additional medical information in the attached questionnaire. Providing accurate information is key to getting the best care
