Dr Jason Lam

Specialist General Practitioner; Sports and Exercise Medicine Registrar; Consultant, Bluff Road Medical Centre
Jason was originally a professional dancer and artist before a major injury changed his 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 philomath with interests in surgery, dermatology, sports medicine, 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 complexity. 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 has undertaken further training with the Australian College of Sport and Exercise 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 specialised 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. You can learn more about Jason and contact him via his website, The Dance Doctor.
