Born and raised in Launceston, Sam and his family have recently made the move to Burnie. While we all know the real drawcard was the fishing and new golf courses to explore, Sam’s professional answer is that he’s passionate about delivering an exceptional integrated general practice in Burnie and supporting a strong training pathway for local graduates who can now complete their entire medical degree in Burnie.

Before pursuing medicine, Dr. Atkins worked as both a pharmacist and an Air Force Officer. He later completed his medical studies in Newcastle and undertook his residency at Launceston General Hospital. Dr. Atkins is passionate about all areas of General Practice including skin cancer medicine.
