Dr Jason Lam
(he/him) BDM, BMBS, DipChildHealth, MSportsMed, FRACGP
Jason was originally a professional dancer and artist before collapsing a lung necessitating a change in career path. He studied medicine at Flinders University in South Australia before working in both Plastic Surgery and Dermatology in the Northern Territory and New South Wales Tertiary hospitals. He endeavours to ensure a holistic and collaborative approach to patient care, helping them achieve their goals.
He is a neurodivergent philomath with interests in surgery, dermatology, sports medicine, dinosaurs, the assessment and management of skin cancer, general medicine, pain, chronic wounds and complex cases. He likes to think of himself as a less pathologic ‘Dr House’ and thrives on diagnostic challenges and seeking answers for complex and difficult to diagnose conditions. He deeply understands the realities of navigating complex, often misunderstood conditions having had lived experience of hypermobility, orthostatic hypotension/POTS and ME/CFS post septic shock - 0 stars do not recommend. He has a special interest in Hypermobility, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, dysautonomia, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and is proud to be a part of The Australian EDS and HSD Network.
He gained his Fellowship in General Practice and has also completed a Diploma of Child Health, a Certificate in Practical Dermoscopy from the Australian College of Dermatology and a Masters of Sports Medicine. He was the inaugural Crichton Dance Medicine fellow with the Australian Ballet. He is a regisitrar with the Australian College of Sport and Excercise Physicians and is involved in medical education, publication and research. He is committed to ongoing professional development and is privileged to work alongside some of the best across many fields.
He currently consults at Bluff Road Medical Centre. He offers a specialist service and does not offer routine general practice care, but is very pleased to work alongside your regular GP and healthcare team to ensure your needs and goals are met.
Outside of medicine, Jason enjoys time with his young family, riding his mountain bike with questionable skill; producing dreadfully pretentious short films, photography and custom jewellery.
Dr Jason Lam acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation on which he lives and works and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
