Dr Samantha Pomroy

Sport & Exercise Medicine Physician

I am an enthusiastic and committed Sports and Exercise Medicine Physician who has a passion for improving patients health outcomes and aiming to support and foster their sports and exercise goals. I enjoy working within a team to problem solve and deliver health outcomes in a timely manner.

I have a strong interest in contact (Rugby/Soccer/AFL) and non-contact sports (Athletics/Rowing/Basketball/Tennis/Cricket) and understand the demands unique to these athletes. I have a keen interest in adolescent medicine and enjoy being part of the development of junior athletes at all levels.
