About of David Smith-Cameron

David Smith-Cameron is an Endocrinologist who works out of University Drive, Callaghan NSW 2308. His clinic focuses on hormone and metabolism health, where even small changes in the body can make a big difference to how someone feels day to day.


In many cases, he looks after people dealing with weight and blood sugar issues, including metabolic syndrome, obesity, and high cholesterol. He also helps with menopause and postmenopausal care, including when symptoms affect energy, mood, and day-to-day comfort. For children, he supports families where weight and growth concerns need careful tracking.


David also sees patients with digestive and nutrient absorption problems, such as lactose intolerance and malabsorption. At times, he may help with ongoing diarrhoea or nutritional deficiencies like pyridoxine (vitamin B6) deficiency. In more complex situations, he works alongside other teams when there are links to the pancreas, including acute pancreatitis, hereditary pancreatitis, and congenital hyperinsulinism.


Some referrals come in for muscle and bone concerns too. That can include muscle loss and muscle weakness (like muscle atrophy), myositis, and muscle pain. He also helps people manage bone health issues such as osteoporosis, postmenopausal osteoporosis, and the long-term effects that can come with ageing. Osteoarthritis pain is another common reason people seek help.


In clinic, David takes time to understand what’s going on and to map out next steps in a practical way. He uses tissue biopsy when needed, and he works through results carefully, so it all makes sense in plain terms. He keeps up with current research and treatment updates, and if a clinical trial option is relevant, he can explain what that might look like and whether it’s worth discussing.


Training and clinical education are centred on endocrinology and metabolic medicine, so he’s used to working with the full picture—lab results, symptoms, and everyday lifestyle factors. Over time, his practice has built a steady approach for people who want clear answers and a plan that feels manageable.
